Based on an inverse algorithm and a full-scale heat transfer model of slab/mould, the non-uniform temperature fields of mould and slab are obtained. Considering the formation mechanism and heat transfer characteristics of the slag films and air gap, a mathematical model of the heat transfer between the liquid/solid slag films and air gap is further developed. According to the model, the non-uniform distributions and evolution of liquid/solid slag films and air gap are comprehensively revealed, which proposes a theoretical foundation for exploring the complex heat transfer of mould/slab and provides a helpful tool for further improving the casting parameters and operations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
