Abstract

The importance of high surface quality of steel products has been increasing in recent years. To improve the surface quality, the fluid flow in a continuous casting mold should be controlled. In this work, inclusion and bubble entrapment in the initially solidified shell is simulated using a low melting-temperature alloy, focusing on the effect of change of fluid flow velocity under an oscillating magnetic field. High flow velocity prevents entrapment of particles. Furthermore, the change of fluid flow velocity induced by the oscillating magnetic field reduces entrapped bubbles and inclusions. These phenomena can be explained by the drag force around a particle and acceleration of the fluid flow.
