Control of solidification process during continuous Casting of steel

This paper reviews the "Metallurgical criterion" of slab solidification during continuous casting.
The effect of the following variables on metallurgical criterion of slab, solidificafion has been studied using a methematical model of heat transfer:casting speed, spray water intensity, water distribution in spray zone, superheat in tundish, convection in the liquid pool and spray water Temperature.
The authors has prepared a nomogram considering fhese factors in which reasonnaable technology parameters are executed.
