Abstract


In the continuous casting process, the mould region is an important mechanism to improve steel quality; however its major role is the setting of cast product form and to ensure a formation of a sufficiently thick solidified shell to contain the molten metal at the exit of the mould. The two-dimensional, steady state solidification model in the mould used the cooling intensity method based on the finite volume software FLUENT is presented. In this paper, a computational solidification model is applied to investigate the effect of cooling intensity on isocontours field distribution in mould region. Thereafter, to predict the impact of the cooling intensity on the solidification process of the continuous casting.
