Ultra-wide slabs have a good application market and prospect, but there is still a lack of
research on the flow field. To explore the characteristics of its flow field, this study built a 0.5 …

Clogging in the submerged entry nozzle is a common concern during the continuous casting
of Al-killed steels, deteriorating the steel quality and impeding the continuity of mold …

Steelmaking has shown an increasing concern toward nonmetallic inclusions, leading to
new technologies in the secondary metallurgy of steel. Although the typical inclusion …

Argon gas injection in slab continuous casting is common practice to counter SEN clogging
phenomena. Bubble characteristics determine the probability of bubble-driven defects such …

Gas bubbling can be an effective means to float out alumina inclusions from liquid steel in a
ladle. However, large spherical cap bubbles are formed when using porous plugs, as the …

The electromagnetic stirring (EMS) and argon blowing are the widely recognized and
extensively employed technologies to control the flow pattern in slab continuous casting …

Parametric studies were performed in a 1: 2 scaled, curved water model using
shadowgraphy to estimate bubble sizes for different casting parameters such as gas flow …
