Abstract Scope |
In this work, the effects of SEN depth in the funnel-type continuous casting mold of Compact Strip Production (CSP) on flow velocity, temperature and steel solidification were analyzed. The SEN depths studied were 260, 300 and 365 mm, these cases were based in operational parameters. The numerical results were validated with those available in literature and theoretical analyses. The jet pouring from the SEN ports is propagated into the mold, and forms two recirculation, one downward and other upward, the lower recirculation decrease as the depths of SEN increased, whereas the upper one increase. Temperature near the meniscus was slightly decreased when the SEN immersion depth was increased, due to an increased steel moving distance from the SEN outlet to the meniscus. The lower the depth of immersion from the meniscus level, the more preferable is the thickness in shell formation at mold exit, ranging an average of 10 mm |
