Modeling of a continous casting process

Introduction The purpose of this model is to describe the transition from melt to solid in the flow in the continous casting process. The COMSOL Multiphysics model results show the temperature distribution, the position of the solidification regime and the glow field in the melt within the process at steady state. The model is a replica, with altered dimensions and material properties, of a real customer case. It was origially used to optimise the process.

Process Geometry z

Problem Definition 3D cylinder => 2D axi- symmetric model Steady state model Heat transfer including latent heat (solidification) Flow field of melt with phase transition to solid including the ”mushy” region (i.e. where solid and liqud co-exist). Temperature (and phase) dependent material properties r z outlet Air cooling Water cooled mould Casting die Melt inlet

Heat Transfer With Latent Heat Modified Heat equation: Latent Heat as a Normalized Gaussian pulse around the melting temperature with Smoothing of thermal property functions using COMSOL’s built in function: flc2hs

Reynolds number about 25 => Laminar flow Navier-Stokes: Damping at the solid/liquid interface: Fraction solid phase: Fluid Flow With Phase Transition

Results, Length of Melted Zone Phase change Evaluating different casting rates (u). =>Process optimization u=1 m/s u=1.4 m/su= 2.3 m/s

Results, Melt Flow A vortex is present at the inlet, possibly explaining observed surface defects in the real process. => Optimization of die design Recirculation Zone

Results, Heat Flux A majority of the heat is related to the phase transition. The surface normal heat flux at the radial boundary shows how the cooling occurs. => Optimization of the cooling process Conductive heat flux Normal heat flux at boudary

Conclusions The model describes the casting process in terms of temperature, flow field and phase transition. There is a significantly non-linear coupling between temperature and flow filed. The model is relatively easy to set up and solve in COMSOL Multiphysics.
