This comprehensive textbook offers an in-depth look at the continuous casting of steel, focusing on the critical components of the mold (crystallizer) and the secondary cooling zone. The authors systematically summarize construction designs and the heat and mass transfer processes that occur within these areas of a continuous casting machine.
The work presents findings from both physical and mathematical modeling of hydrodynamic processes. It takes into account key design parameters, such as the use of submerged entry nozzles and water-cooled vibration coolers within the mold. The book also explores technological regimes for introducing elastic oscillations into continuously cast slabs within the secondary cooling zone.
Various principles for intensifying the solidification of continuously cast products are examined. These methods, which involve directional or gradient impacts, help optimize the flotation of non-metallic inclusions and improve the formation of the macro- and microstructure of the cast metal. This textbook is designed for students in metallurgical and mechanical engineering fields and serves as a practical resource for engineers specializing in continuous casting technology.
