The Numerical Simulation Software Applied in Continuous Casting Billets

The author developed a numerical simulation software by using the object-oriented Visual Basic programming language on the basis of the 2D mathematical model of secondary cooling process in billet continuous casting.An effective experimenting tool for computer simulation of continuous casting process is also gained.By simulation using the software,the caster structures and operating parameters in continuous casting can be designed and optimized.The simulating calculation examples on several casters and its production applications have indicated that the commercial software developed in the paper has more accuracy,practicability and commonality,and simpler operating capability.The simulated results have been successfully applied in the design and production of the high-efficiency modification for several billet casters interiorly.The billet continuous casting 45 steel has also been calculated and discussed in this paper.
