An Experimental Benchmark of Non-metallic Inclusion Distribution Inside a Heavy Continuous-Casting Slab

Numerical Simulation of Magnetic Field and Flow Field of Slab under Composite Magnetic Field

“…The rotating electromagnetic force also affects the behavior of the jet flow, which significantly reduces the impinging depth of the jet flow. This is also similar to the results in the reference [19]. Figure 6d shows the flow field under the composite magnetic field.…”

“…EMS in slab mold is used to activate the flow near the meniscus, which can improve the equiaxed grain ratio, scour the solidification front, and reduce the non-metallic inclusions in the liquid-solid interface [7][8][9][10][11]; however, EMS can neither reduce the impact of the jet flow from the SEN on the narrow face nor suppress the impinging depth of the downward flow. EMBr can reduce the impact of the jet flow on the narrow face of the mold [12][13][14][15][16]; however, a highly strong EMBr dulls the melting of the protective slag [17][18][19][20][21]. In order to solve the above problems, ABB in Sweden proposed the composite control technology of the flow field in slab mold with EMS and EMBr, simultaneously [22], but did not publish the specific scheme of magnet coil structure and magnetic field distribution.…”

Large Eddy Simulation of Transient Flow, Particle Transport, and Entrapment in Slab Mold with Double‐Ruler Electromagnetic Braking

“…Based on the argon gas volume, about 30 000 argon bubbles are injected per second. The size distribution for the injected inclusions ranging from 50 to 500 μm is determined according to the work of Liu et al [20] The number of the injected inclusions is 500 per second. Particles are reflected when they touch the SEN walls.…”

“…For clean steel production, it is highly important to investigate the distribution of the inclusions and argon bubbles in the slabs. The particle distributions of the slabs have been studied by both experimental measurements [3][4][5][17][18][19][20] and numerical simulations. [16,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] Due to the limitations for scope and accuracy of the instruments used for the detection of particles in the slabs, the measurements of particle distributions in the slab are usually not comprehensive.…”

Transformation of Inclusions in a Complicated‐Deoxidized Heavy Rail Steels During Heating

“…[2,5] Extensive studies have been performed on the characterization and control of inclusions in steels, involving the formation, modification, and removal of inclusions. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] However, little attention was paid to study the variation of inclusions in solid steels during heating and rolling so far. [16][17][18][19] Significant variation in the composition of inclusions from the molten steel of continuous casting tundish to continuous casting products was reported.…”
