| contents | The continuous casting process constitutes one of the most important ways for the steel production in the world. The steel product quality requirements are high and the industry impulse different research with the purpose to avoid product defects and operation problems. The computational simulation integrated with experimental assays constitute a good alternative to deep the knowledge of different fluid phenomena that are present during the initial stage of steel solidification in the continuous casting mold at processing conditions, that could cause quality defects. In this paper, the mold flux entrapment defect susceptibility in relation with casting speed and mold width variation was considered. To carry out the study different computational tools were applied to evaluate the fluid dynamics and the thermodynamic evolution of the complex system in the mold. The results included steel and mold flux physical properties values estimations. The information obtained allows to predict the operation conditions that could increase the mold flux entrapment risk during HSLA steel continuous casting process for the industrial selected conditions and it is considered relevant for steel slabs processing in the steelmaking industry. |
