| Abstract |
Centerline macrosegregation is one of the most significant problems in continuous casting on stainless steel slabs. Numerical model have been developed in order to decrease centerline macrosegregation during continuous casting of STS 420J2 stainless steel slab. Extra cooling zone and extra cooling water quantity are determined by iterative coupled analysis of heat transfer and segregation. Segregation ratio is decreased by the intensive cooling at the extra cooling zone above the solid fraction of the slab center 0.7, so called thermal soft reduction (TSR). The experimental results show good agreements with numerical results. |
