Abstract
In order to prevent molten steel reoxidation in the tundish during continuous casting, argon injection into the shroud is applied. The injected argon bubbles in molten steel may change the molten steel flow pattern in the tundish. Consequently, the ratios of dead zone, plunger zone and well-mixed zone would change. Also, the motion of inclusions in the molten steel of tundish would change resulting from argon injection. The current word developed a coupling multiphase flow mathematical model. Basing on the developed model, the present work has researched the influences of argon injection on the molten steel flow pattern, inclusion motion characteristics in the tundish.
期刊介绍:
Metallurgical Research and Technology (MRT) is a peer-reviewed bi-monthly journal publishing original high-quality research papers in areas ranging from process metallurgy to metal product properties and applications of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys, including light-metals. It covers also the materials involved in the metal processing as ores, refractories and slags.
The journal is listed in the citation index Web of Science and has an Impact Factor.
It is highly concerned by the technological innovation as a support of the metallurgical industry at a time when it has to tackle severe challenges like energy, raw materials, sustainability, environment... Strengthening and enhancing the dialogue between science and industry is at the heart of the scope of MRT. This is why it welcomes manuscripts focusing on industrial practice, as well as basic metallurgical knowledge or review articles.
