Effect of Water Gap in Delivery System on Twin Roll Strip Caster by Simulation

Article Preview

Abstract:

In continuous casting process, the mould is the core of the continuous caster, and the vast majority of the surface defects of steel is originated in the crystallizer. Choosing a reasonable water gap in the delivery system is particularly important, especially in twin roll strip continuous casting, the flow delivery system thin belt has a close relationship with the quality of the products. Experiments to skateboard and water gap, STEEL AISI 4340 materials chosen as the simulation material at the same time, distribution water gap taking the form of a set themselves by using the finite element software COMSOL simulation calculation of different gaps opening mode of velocity field, and fluid line back to the high wall, made a comprehensive analysis in different speak way open comprehensive effect is best, the most conducive to the production of high quality material. The experiment determines the best form of water gap, improving the efficiency of the actual production. Make it to the actual production has a certain guiding significance.
