Effects of dam and weir on the fluid flow and behavior of inclusions in the continuous casting tundish have been studied using the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) technique. Inclusions affecting the quality of steel products have been considered to be passive: the fluid flow has been obtained for unstaggered grid points defined on body-fitted generalized cuvilinear coordinates with no attention on inclusions, and the spatial propagation of inclusions has been determined by using the flow field data. The result show that the dam and weir direct the flow to the free surface and increase the residence time of inclusions significantly, and thereby that inclusions have much more chance to be floated to the free surface of the tundish where it is eliminated. It is also found that they offer more margin on the geometric design of exit nozzles connected to moulds. This finding is particularly important for twin casting operations where the quality of steel products from the two moulds be kept uniformly.

In order to investigate the mixing of dissimilar grades during the arbitrary grade transition in bloom caster, a computational model has been developed. The model is fully transient and consists of two sub models, which account for mixing in the bloom tundish, mixing in the strand. The developed model was verified using concentration histories measured on 1 : 1 scale bloom tundish water model. The result of numerical model showed good agreement with the experimental results of water model. By using this numerical model, the mixing of dissimilar grades in bloom caster has been simulated. As that result, the characteristics of the steel mixing in the bloom tundish and strand was showed and the amount of the intermixed grade bloom was predicted.

전기로 제강공정 중 LF 공정에서 슬래그는 전기로(EAF)에서 이월된 슬래그와 출강 중에 조재제인 생석회, 돌로마이트 등이 용강 중에 투입되어 생성된다. LF 조업이 끝나면 ladle은 연속주조 공정(CCM)으로 이송되며, ladle 하부의 노즐을 통해 tundish로 용강을 내보내어 연속 주조조업을 하게 된다. 일반적으로 연속 주조공정 후 ladle에 남는 슬래그와 잔강(殘鋼)은 슬래그 포트(Pot)에 받아 슬래그 야적장으로 이송되어 파쇄 후 처리된다. 본 연구에서는 연속 주조공정 후 ladle에 잔류한 용융슬래그(잔강(殘鋼) 포함)를 전기로 출강 후에 ladle 상부에 직접 투입하여 LF 공정 초기의 슬래그를 형성하는데 활용하고자 하였다. 그 결과 LF 공정 중에 사용되는 생석회의 원단위는 2.2 ~ 3.2 kg/steel-ton 저감되었으며, 용강의 생산회수율은 0.3 ~ 0.5% 증가되었다.

Continuous casting process is numerically analyzed using the continuum model in a non-orthogonal coordinate system. Flow damping in the mush is modeled by combining the viscosity dependence on liquid fraction in dilute mush and the permeability dependence on liquid fraction in concentrated mush. The effect of turbulence is indirectly considered by effective diffusivity determined elsewhere by experiment. The main objective is to investigate the effects of casting parameters such as casting speed and tundish superheat on the distribution of surface temperature, shell thickness, metallurgical length and centerline segregation. Some of the computed results are compared with available experiments, and reasonable agreements are obtained.
