针对连铸坯凝固均匀性及表面缺陷控制问题,本文建立了电磁搅拌和电磁制动复合磁场调控下的结晶器流动与凝固预测数学模型,利用WALE(wall-adapting local eddy-viscosity)大涡模拟方法以及一种简化的夹杂物捕捉准则,分析复合磁场调控对铸坯表面缺陷的控制机理.研究结果表明:夹杂物颗粒的捕捉位置主要出现在铸坯的外表层,复合磁场下宽面和窄面的凝固壳厚度之差比无电磁调控时降低了4.59%,复合磁场下夹杂物捕捉总量比无磁场时减少了47.21%.研究表明,电磁制动主要抑制凝固壳内夹杂物的捕捉,电磁搅拌的核心作用是促进流动和凝固均匀性.
Abstract
In this paper, a mathematical model for predicting the flow and solidification of the mold under the control of the composite electromagnetic field of electromagnetic stirring and electromagnetic braking was established to address issues related to solidification homogeneity and surface defect control in continuous casting slabs. The wall-adapting local eddy-viscosity (WALE) large eddy simulation model, in conjunction with a simplified inclusion capture criterion, was employed to analyze the mechanism by which the composite electromagnetic field controlled surface defects in the cast slabs. The findings reveal that the capture locations of inclusions are mainly concentrated in the outer surface layer of the slabs; the difference between the thickness of the solidified shell in the wide and narrow surface under the composite magnetic field is reduced by 4.59% compared with that without electromagnetic field, and the total amount of inclusion capture under the composite magnetic field is reduced by 47.21% compared with that without electromagnetic field. It is found that electromagnetic braking inhibits the inclusion capture in the solidified shell, and the core role of electromagnetic stirring is to promote the flow and solidification homogeneity.
