Ar gas was injected to the nozzle during continuous casting to prevent from nozzle clogging caused by solid inclusions,however,some gas bubbles were captured by the initial solidified billet shell,and subsequently billet defects were formed in final product.In present work,a physical model applying mold simulator was designed and used to investigate the bubble behavior in the solid/liquid interface.Different mold simulator angels and bubble diameters were considered,three typical behaviors were observed,some bubbles were captured by the solidified shell,several bubbles coalescence in the solid/liquid interface,and other bubbles stayed in the interface for a moment,and then left.The possible mechanism of gas bubble entrapped in solidified shell was analyzed.Besides, industrial billets were studied,many dendrites were found around the hole,it was considered to be a key factor for gas bubble engulfed in the solidification billets in the meniscus area.Further more,the effective technologies,such as electrical brake near the submerged entry nozzle and electrical stirring in the mold narrow face,can improve billet quality and reduce gas bubbles in solidified shell were imposed.
