Analysis of Thermomechanical Behavior in Continuous Casting Mould and Design of Breakout Prediction System

Abstract:

By measuring the surface temperature of the mould, the condition of solidified shell can be monitored by thermocouples fixed to the mould. Breakouts can be predicted and effectively avoided by monitoring the dynamic characteristics of thermocouples temperature in the casting process. A thermomechanical model was developed to analyzed the heat transfer in the mould.The breakout prediction system of continuous casting has been analyzed with consideration of the principles, model and thermocouples installation. The system has been designed and implemented in the steel plants.
