Experimental Study on the Distribution of Heat Flux along Contact Arc in Twin-Roll Continuous Strip Casting

Abstract:

Heat flux between molten metal and casting rolls plays a key role in improving the quality of the strip, studying on the interfacial heat flux has very important theoretical significance and practical value. According to the contact form and the heat flux characteristics of molten metal and casting rolls in twin-roll strip casting process, a set of measuring equipments has been developed, which are used to measure the heat flow of the interface between the molten metal and solid, and a relevant software system has been exploited to acquire and analyze the experiment data. Using the method of combining experimental and numerical computation, we analyze the influence of pouring temperature on the contact interface heat flux. The experimental results show that the higher the pouring temperature , the greater the summit of heat flux density and the shorter time to the summit heat flux are, but when the pouring temperature reaches a certain critical value, the summit of heat flux will decrease with the increase of pouring temperature.
