Detection & measurement of asymmetric flow in the mould & assessment of its effect on product quality of continuouslycast slabs

Objetivo

The flow of steel in the mould of continuous slab casting machines, which can be extremely complex, has a large impact on final product quality leading to entrainment of argon bubbles, powder and mould slag in the solidifying strand and in the worst case breakouts. The aims of the project are: the development of advanced simulation methods in addition to instrumentation systems; the detection and measurement of the flow of steel in the mould of slab casters using thermocouples and electromagnetic measuring devices. The impact of flow conditions and asymmetric flow on product quality will be investigated over the range of casting speeds and strand dimensions available to the partners. The wished aim is to display dynamically to operators the flow of steel in the mould and to highlight conditions deleterious to as-cast semi-finished product quality.
