The Effects of Electromagnetic Stirring on Cast Structure of Continuously Cast Austenitic Stainless Steel Slabs

Developments in Ferrous Production Metallurgy in 1983

“…Other papers concerned with the application of EMS include in-roll stirrers,202 continuous casting of pseudo-rimmed steeP03 and the electromagnetic brake (EMBR)204 system from ASEA which decreases liquid steel flow and penetration improving internal and subsurface quality, advanced mild stirring coupled with multi-positioning of EMS to reduce "white band,''205 the effect of circumferential stirring on macrosegregation 2 0 6 stainless steel slab casting. 207 Koyano and Ito208 discussed the development of NKK's HORICAST (horizontal continuous casting) process. The reported advantages over conventional vertical continuous casting include excellent surface finish and internal quality and cleanness, much reduced working height, easier maintenance due to linear arrangements of components.…”

Refinement effect of TiC on ferrite by molecular statics/dynamics simulations and first-principles calculations

“…Ferritic stainless steel is noted for its excellent stress corrosion cracking resistance, good plasticity and toughness, high thermal conductivity and small linear expansion, which has been widely applied as corrosion resistant material in the modern industries [1].Furthermore, it is characterized of lower cost by comparison with austenite stainless steel, which makes it good substitute for austenite stainless steel. However, its low strength cannot meet the high requirement for mechanical properties, which restricts its widespread application [2]. Therefore, it has been noticed to improve the strength of ferritic stainless steel.…”
