Numerical Simulation of Mold Filling and Solidification Process for Beam Blank Continuous Casting

Abstract:

Mold filling and solidification of molten steel for 750mm×450mm×300mm continuous casting mold of single SEN and double SEN are simulated by using CFD commercial code Flow-3d. The distributing diagrams of velocity field and temperature field and the location and shape diagrams of free-surface during mold filling process are obtained. Influences of single SEN model and double SEN model on velocity field and solidification are analyzed. It is found that double SEN model can lighten circumfluence intensity at the upper of mold, quicken solidification speed of steel liquid in the mold, which is favorable to improving the quality of billet and enhancing pull speed.
