The real-time macro-solidification macro model for crack prediction

conference paper

English

Steelmakers focus on producing high quality steel to minimize defects, as this strategy maximizes their productivity and profit. The paper describes how to create a macro model of solidification of continuously cast steel. The described model is fully 3D, non-stationary and is implemented in a form suitable for GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). The formation of blank cracks follows the continuous casting of steel from the beginning and is a problem for the production of some steel grades. The various criteria that can predict the occurrence of defects in continuous steel casting can serve to optimize the casting process, control the blank cooling, and then predict the quality of the resulting blank.
