Effect of Turbulence Inhibitor on the Molten Steel Flow in Tundish

Abstract:

The flow pattern and temperature distribution of molten steel in tundish were calculated by CFD and heat transfer method. Comparing the tundish flow field and the temperature field of empty packet and turbulence inhibitor installed, the role of turbulence inhibitor in tundish was analyzed, and the advantages and disadvantages of turbulence inhibiter were illuminated. The results show that: the turbulence inhibitor can eliminate the short circuit flow at tundish bottom, stabilize flow, and homogenize molten steel composition; but the turbulence inhibitor can consume energy of molten steel, and reduce the temperature of molten steel in the tundish. Without the turbulence inhibitor, the surface minimum temperature is far from the narrow corner, it is not easy to knot cold steel; installing turbulence inhibitor can raise the molten steel temperature near inlet, steel flow will scour inlet refractory intensively, service life of which shortens.
