Abstract
A parametric study is presented for the Hazelett thin-slab steel casting process. The paper investigates the influence of the belt heat transfer, steel superheat, casting speed, and nozzle diameter on the growth of the solidification front within the caster. The numerical results compare well with results available in the literature and show that the belt heat-transfer and casting speed are the process parameters that are most influential on the development of the solidification front. In addition, the influence of the major process parameters on the cooling rates in the caster is investigated also. A fixed-grid enthalpy formulation is used allowing, with a single set of equations, the description of the liquid region, the two-phase mushy zone, and the solid region.
