Solidification and segregation in a W-shape pattern are critical quality issues that have not
been adequately addressed in the continuous casting of slabs. In this paper, we propose an …

Forced convection and its effect on the microstructure evolution of an Al-7wt.% Si alloy
during unidirectional solidification were studied experimentally. Under natural convection …

Melt flow during alloy solidification promotes more dendrite fragments or equiaxed grains
due to dendrite fragmentation, while the complex interactions between melt flow and …

The volume-averaged solidification model has generated considerable research interest in
metallurgical areas. The model is complicated but flexible to address many problems faced …

Electromagnetic stirring (EMS) has been recognized as a mature technique in steel industry
to control the as-cast structure of steel continuous casting (CC), and computational …

A mathematical model of the macrosegregation of continuous cast high carbon steel billet
was developed based upon a representative volume element, considering the flow of …

The continuous steel casting process must simultaneously meet the requirements for
production performance, quality and safety against breakouts. Knowing the thickness of the …

In this study, the relationship between macro segregation and the equiaxed zone in high-
carbon grades with continuous casting parameters was investigated and optimized at the …

Compared with electromagnetic stirring, a novel permanent magnet stirring, characterized
by high magnetic flux density and low energy consumption, is an effective alternative to …

Electromagnetic stirring (M-EMS) has been extensively applied in continuous casting
production to reduce the quality defects of casting billets. To investigate the effect of …
