摘要
Abstract The thin slab casting (TSC) of steel is a type of the continuous casting (CC) with a narrow funnel-shaped mold, characterized by the rapid solidification and fast production rates. A highly turbulent flow impacts on a growing solid shell due to the constant feeding of the fresh hot melt. That strongly affects the solidification profiles and final quality of the TSC slabs. The presented work numerically investigates the solidification inside the TSC mold with the asymmetric flow pattern caused by the misalignment (tilting) of the submerged entry nozzle (SEN). These effects were considered with and without the applied electromagnetic brake (EMBr). The influence of the adjustable EMBr on the asymmetric flow and solidification profiles including turbulent and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effects were studied. During consistent series of simulations, the EMBr was varied between the magnetic poles and the time-averaged velocity and temperature fields were collected. The results showed that symmetric EMBr of a local type could partially improve the asymmetry. An optimal braking scenario was found for the casing speed of 5.5 m/min and maximum EMBr value of 180 mT. The solidification and MHD models including turbulence were developed using OpenFOAM®.
