The effect of the design of the metal receiver slab continuous casting machine on the movement of metal in the intermediate ladle when the metal stream deviates from the desired position. Part I. Formulation of the problem

Abstract

The article is devoted to assessing the effect of the design of the metal receiver in the intermediate ladle of the large capacity slab continuous casting machine on reducing the turbulence of flows when the metal stream deviates from the required position during casting. The results of computer simulation of industrial variants of displacement of a stream of metal from a steel pouring ladle to an intermediate ladle from the target input point are presented. The distribution of metal flows in the tundish is compared with different designs of metal receivers. Recommendations are given for reducing flow turbulence for the cases considered. Ill. 6. Ref. 5.
