An Analysis of Stresses in a Continuously Cast Billet During Steel Casting Into a Cylindrical Mold with a Two-Circuit Cooling System

  • Published:
Metallurgist Aims and scope

The paper considers stresses emerging in the skin of a continuously cast steel billet, as well as their values under the influence of temperature expansions in a novel patented design of a nickel mold with a two-circuit cooling system. According to the known values of heat flux densities at various distances from the top of the mold, the temperature of the slag-forming mixture and the average temperature of the steel billet skin are determined. Based on the established thickness of the billet skin, the temperature gradient therein is determined. At a steel casting speed of 4 m/min, the values of temperature stresses in the billet skin at various distances from the top of the mold were established not to exceed the values of the metal flow stresses at corresponding temperatures.
