Abstract
The aim of the work was to explore potential improvements to the productivity and quality of the horizontal continuous casting process (HCC) at Nordic Brass in Västerås, Sweden, when casting copper-base alloys. A numerical 2D/3D, fully coupled model incorporating heat and mass transport was developed to analyse the solidification in the HCC process. The model has been tuned by experimental results (i.e. cooling water flow measurements, temperature measurements and metallographic analysis). The model was employed to investigate the effects of different casting conditions on solidification behaviour such as casting temperature, cooling power, casting rate and overall productivity.
