Copper Mold for Continuous Casting of Steel: Modelling Strategies to Assess Thermal Distortion and Durability

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work the durability assessment and the permanent deformation of a copper mold for continuous casting of steel have been investigated using mathematical models based on the Finite Element method. The cyclic plasticity behavior of the material is represented by a combined kinematic-isotropic model experimentally validated. Results from thermo-mechanical analysis are in good agreement with measurements. In particular, creep effects included into the model permit the evolution of bulging near the meniscus area to be correctly predicted. A life estimation is performed considering strain-life and stress-rupture time curves according to a cumulative damage law.
