Investigating the effects of cooling rate and casting speed on continuous casting process using a 3D thermo-mechanical meshless approach

Segregation Neutralised Steels: Microstructural Banding Elimination from Dual Phase Steel Through Alloy Design Accounting for Inherent Segregation

“…Literature has shown that cooling rates in a continuous caster for thick slab steel can range between 12 °C/ s [31,32] in the shell down to 0.5 to 3 °C/s in the core of the slab. [32,33] With the high cooling rate shell only comprising around the first 20 mm, [32] then the majority of a 230 mm continuous cast slab is solidified at the lower end of this cooling rate range. Therefore, initial simulations have been carried out under Newtonian cooling according to Eq.…”

Transient heat transfer and solidification modelling in direct-chill casting using a generalized finite differences method

“…Apart from the mentioned meshless methods given in strong form, there exist some other weak form approaches such as the element-free Galerkin method (EFG) that has been used for the simulation of transient heat transfer of the start-up phase in DCC of an aluminum alloy round billet considering the nonlinear aspects related to the material properties and boundary conditions [22]. Recently, another weak form meshless method that has been tested in the analysis of the solidified shell thickness, the mushy zone thickness, the metallurgical length, and residual stress in CC processes is a 3D thermo-elastoplastic Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method [23].…”
