| Synopsis: A new device, FC mold (flow control mold), was developed to improve the quality of final products, cast at a high speed. It has two pairs of poles that generate static magnetic fields. In order to optimize steel flow in a continuous casting mold, one of the fields imposed is at the meniscus and the other is below the submerged entry nozzle(SEN). Both of the fields cover the entire width of the mold. The principle and effects of this device were confirmed through mercury model experiment, industrial application to the No.3 caster at Chiba Works and numerical simulations. The industrial application demonstrated good effects on the surface and internal qualities of the products. Kawasaki Steel has already introduced the FC molds for industrial production at the No.4 caster in Mizushima as well as the No.3 caster in Chiba. They are contributing to high productivity and high product quality. |
