Abstract:

Twin roll strip casting is regarded as a prospective technology offering many economic benefits. The control of fluid flow in the pool is, however, particularly difficult due to the high casting speed and small pool volume. In the present study, a three-dimensional mathematical model has been developed for the coupled analysis of fluid flow, heat transfer and solidification in the pool using the finite difference method. The characteristics of transport phenomena in the pool of a twin roll strip caster using a wedge type melt delivery system were analysed by numerical simulation. The results show that it is desirable for the wedge melt delivery system to provide the uniformity of flow and temperature in the pool to maintain the casting process and improve the strip quality.
