“…Through the combined effort of water modeling, temperature measurements during actual DC casting and mathematical modeling, Fortier et al [6] obtained the effects of process parameter changes on the flow and temperature distributions in the sump and meniscus. Specifically, they studied the effects of distributor bag stiffness in the presence of a spout sock.…”

A 3D turbulent melt flow and solidification of an aluminum alloy (AA-1050) for an industrial-sized direct chill slab casting process is modeled. The melt is delivered through a rectangular submerged nozzle and a non-deformable combo bag fitted with a bottom porous filter. The non-Darcian model, incorporating the Brinkman and Forchheimer extensions, is used to characterize the turbulent melt flow behavior passing through the porous filter. The casting speed and the effective heat transfer coefficient at the metal-mold contact region within the mold are varied. The above two parameters are found to have significant influence on the solidification process.

Horizontal continuous casting process has been successfully implemented in Alcan for the production of T-ingots of primary aluminium and foundry alloys. Ability to achieve increased productivity targets and reduce production costs relies on a fundamental understanding of key process characteristics and operating parameters. Thanks to the long-standing experience in vertical DC Casting, numerical modelling appeared as a powerful approach to understand phenomena related to metal flow, solidification and ultimately defect formation. As part of a collaborative R&D program, a global model of horizontal casting process, integrating specialized sub-models on critical aspects of the process such as meniscus dynamics, is being developed. Experimental characterization of primary and secondary cooling is performed in parallel with modelling work to provide the information necessary to properly characterize mould heat transfer. This paper will present the development of a 3D process model of T-ingot casting along with its application to solve specific process challenges that have emerged during the first years of production in the plant.
