Fluid flow characteristics during planar flow casting of low carbon steel strip

Year: 1988

Type: paratext

Abstract: One of the methods that is being investigated to produce steel strip is the planar flow casting technique. In this method, steel is metered onto a moving substrate by casting through a nozzle of fixed and controlled dimensions. This paper reports on a fundamental study of the fluid flow characteristics of the planar flow casting process for producing low carbon steel of that is .030 --.125 inches thick. The study includes a thorough evaluation of the planar flow process using a full scale water model. The model was used to determine the most desirable geometry of the pouring nozzle and other features of the process. A finite element mathematical model was used to analyze the fluid flow in the nozzle and solidification on the wheel. Finally, a casting system was constructed and trials were made by casting low carbon killed steel on a moving substrate. 7 refs., 14 figs., 1 tab.
