The magnetic flux density and fluid flow in the liquid pool at the location of final electromagnetic stirring(F-EMS) were calculated by the present numerical model. Meanwhile, the plant trials were carried out to determine the optimum current intensity and frequency of F-EMS for the continuously cast billet of high carbon steel. The numerical results show that, through increasing the current intensity by 100 A, the corresponding increases of magnetic induction intensity, tangential electromagnetic force and flow velocity at the solid/liquid interface in the strand are 0.025 T, 1933 N/m3 and 6.9 cm/s, respectively. Moreover, the industrial trial results showed that for the continuously cast billet of 60 steel, the optimum current intensity and frequency of F-EMS, which is 8.2 m from the meniscus, are respectively 380 A and 6 Hz. With the optimum F-EMS parameters, the significant improvement of center segregation of billet is achieved, and the center carbon segregation index in billet reaches 1.04.展开更多

Char- acteristics of centerline segregation were analyzed for lots of billet samples collected from the plant through obtaining the carbon concentrations of drill chips, which were correlated with the operating parameters of the caster and stir- rers, but a problem occurred that segregation control results of trial billets with the same casting and stirring param- eters often have drastic fluctuations. An attempt was made to find out the induced reasons of this problem by meas uring the electromagnetic torque, analyzing the secondary dendrite arm spacing （SDAS） and the corresponding cool- ing rate of the typical specimens, and observing the longitudinal profile of etched billet samples. Then a simple dy- namic secondary cooling model was developed based on the solidified shell thickness control mode, by which the maximum carbon segregation index was reduced effectively, and thus the segregation fluctuation problem was basi- cally solved. Finally, the most favourable stirring parameters were determined as the casting speed of 1.65 m/rain, the liquid core thickness of 40 mm, stirring current of 360 A and frequency of 12 Hz.展开更多
