| Abstract Scope |
In this work, the effects of SEN depth in the funnel-type continuous casting mold of Compact Strip Production (CSP) on flow velocity, temperature and steel solidification were analyzed. The SEN depths studied were 260 and 300 mm, these cases were based in operational parameters. The numerical results were validated with those available in literature and theoretical analyses. The jet pouring from the SEN ports is propagated into the mold, and forms two recirculation, one downward and other upward, the lower recirculation decrease as the depths of SEN increased, whereas the upper one increase. Thermal fields in both studied cases are similar but there is a slight difference which shows that a 300 mm SEN depth dissipates and remove heat faster. The grater the depth of immersion from the meniscus level, the grater shell formation at mold exit. |
