Role of the Continuous Casting Forms on the Shape of the Solidified Crust / Wpływ Geometrii Formy Na Kształt Frontu Krzepnięcia Przy Odlewaniu Ciągłym

Abstract

An analytical model for the transfer has been development and applied for calculating the shape of the solid thickness profile for continuous casting of a thin plate as an example. The stationary solidification front relative to the crystallizer was received from the superposition of the motions of the liquid metal flow in the axial direction and the solidifying metal in the perpendicular direction. The shape of the solidified crust was analyzed for different casting forms. The results are compared and graphically shown for different selected forms.
