MODELING OF STEEL CONTINUOUS CASTING

摘要

Steel is produced today by Continuous Casting, which accounts for almost 100% of steel output. The process developed in the second half of the 20th century, driven by process engineers and some help from scientists. The technology has been mature for 10 to 15 years now, but innovation in the field has proved very resilient in the face of the ever-changing nature of steel, the offering of which is renewed at a fast pace, which changes the requirements set on Continuous Casting. One of the major tools used to make this continuous metamorphosis possible is process modeling and especially the modeling of solidification, in the intermingling of solid and liquid state physics that interacts in this complex reactor.
