Phenomenological Comparative Research for the Effect of Fluid Flow on Characteristics of Solidification Structure of Continuous Casting Billet
摘要
In this study, the effect of liquid phase flow on the morphologyMorphologies of real solidification structureSolidification structure during the solidificationSolidification process of the steel was studied by comparing the actual continuous castingContinuous casting billet with theThermal simulation thermal simulationSimulation sample structure of confocal laser scanning microscopy. The results show that the secondary dendrite arm spacing and fractal dimension of the solidification structure under continuous castingContinuous casting conditions are larger due to the existence of liquid phase flow. The positive changes of dendrite spacing and fractal dimension under liquid phase flow have an opposite effect on permeability, but in general, the permeabilityPermeability of the solidificationSolidification structure obtained by the continuous casting process is larger. The influence of liquid phase flow can be reduced by reducing the dendrite arm spacing and increasing the fractal dimension. Moreover, increasing the cooling rateCooling Rate within a certain range can simultaneously reduce the dendrite arm spacing and increase the fractal dimension.
