Mathematical Simulation of Flux Film State in Gap between Mould and Solidified Shell

Abstract

The mathematical model for heat transfer during solidification of steel in the mould of slab caster was established in this paper. The temperature distribution of slab surface was described. Based on the work which was described above, the model of flux film state was developed in present paper. Lubrication function of mould flux and the effects of main factors on lubrication had been discussed. The simulation results provided theory foundation for appraising lubrication function of flux and optimizing casting production.
