Control of liquid slag carry-away and entrapment in the CC mold for a better surface and subsurface quality: numerical and experimental study

Objective

The main aims of this project are to investigate:
- the process conditions that significantly improve surface quality as well as the subsurface cleanness;
- criteria to ensure that lubrication remains homogeneous and avoids surface cracks and, that liquid slag entrapment is prevented;
- liquid slag carry-away at meniscus and detrimental perturbations of the lubrication between shell and mold.
A new type of physical model will be developed and used to study the mechanisms for slag carry-away at the CC meniscus. Numerical simulations as well as industrial characterizations of the meniscus behaviour will be carried out.
