Numerical Simulations of Mould Electromagnetic Stirring for Round Bloom Strands

Abstract: For continuous casting of steel the flow inside the liquid core is important for the quality of the end product. Optimal velocities at the solidification front are desired to enhance a transition from columnar to equiaxed solidification. Other benefits are the reduction of inclusions and segregations. In-mould electromagnetic stirring (M-EMS) is a way to achieve these velocities. It is a widely used tool to modify the flow in round bloom strands and is used for most products at Voestalpine Stahl Donawitz. Beca… Show more

“…They also carried out a 3‐D coupled numerical simulation of electromagnetic field, fluid flow, and inclusion trajectory . Barna and Javurek et al performed a numerical comparison of full coupling and simplified coupling between fluid flow and electromagnetic field in round bloom continuous casting with M‐EMS. They also set up a model to compute the flow field and inclusion distribution inside the whole strand by using the analytical expression for the electromagnetic force deduced by Spitzer.…”

“…Two different cases were selected to validate the current electromagnetic model used in this study. In electromagnetic simulations, the mold cavity was assumed to be occupied with air in case of compatibility with the measured conditions reported in the studies . The predicted electromagnetic flux densities were modeled using the same operational parameters to those reported in the literature …”

“…Since F-EMS uses a sinusoidal current to generate a harmonic electromagnetic field, the magnetic flux density, electromagnetic force density and Joule heat power density change with time. However, at low current frequencies, both the shielding parameter and the interaction parameter are small, and it is feasible to use the time-averaged electromagnetic force density and Joule heat power density [15]. Hence, the time-averaged values of the two variables are calculated from Equations (7) and (8) in the post-processing to investigate the distribution characteristics [8]:…”
