Numerical Studies on Metallurgical Behavior of Liquid Steel in Slab Mold with Electromagnetic Brake

The numerical simulation study on metallurgical behavior of liquid steel in the slab mold with and without electromagnetic brake is carried out.The numerical simulation results show that in the presence of EMBR,the velocity of liquid steel in the slab mold is reduced largely with the highest velocity of meniscus reducing from 0.17 m/s to 0.02 m/s.The temperature of liquid steel in some part of casting blank gets higher,with a lower temperature of solidification shell.The shell gets thicker at narrow sides and the corner while gets thinner at wide sides.
