Abstract

Energy saving and greenhouse gas emission reduction are crucial for the future development of advanced continuous casting technology. Careful controlling the initial solidification of molten steel in the mold tends to reduce amount of energy consumption in continuous casting process, as it can improve the quality of casting products and minimize the extra post-cast treatment which will consume lots of extra labor and energy consumption. In this paper, factors such as mold oscillation, cooling potential conditions, mold flux, and fluid flow in the vicinity of meniscus that correlate with the molten steel initial solidification were discussed with the aim to provide strategy and guidelines for the optimization of molten steel solidification and energy saving in the continuous casting.
