对侧封板振动条件下双辊薄带铸轧熔池内凝固特性进行了数值模拟,分析了不同振动频率、振幅和浇铸温度对于双辊薄带铸轧熔池内钢液凝固的影响.设计了机械振动实验对数值模型的准确性进行验证.结果表明:振动的加入将会加速金属熔体的凝固速度,且随着振动频率的增大,熔融金属的凝固速度将得到进一步加快;侧封板处的热流密度大,导致钢液凝固速度增加,液相体积分数沿水平方向从侧封板到熔池中心逐渐降低;浇铸温度升高会导致熔池内糊状区减小,Kiss点位置降低.研究得出最优振动频率为13 Hz,最优振幅为0.5 mm,浇铸温度不宜高于1 860 K.
Abstract
A numerical simulation was conducted to investigate the solidification characteristics inside the melt pool during twin-roll thin strip casting under side dam vibration. The effects of vibration frequency, amplitude, and casting temperature on molten steel solidification in the melt pool were analyzed. The mechanical vibration experiment was designed to validate the accuracy of the numerical model. Results show that applying vibration accelerates molten metal solidification rate, and higher vibration frequency further enhances the solidification rate. Due to the high heat flux density at the side dam, the solidification rate of the molten steel increases, leading to a decreasing trend in liquid fraction from the side dam to the center of the melt pool along the horizontal direction. Elevated casting temperature reduces the melt pool’s mushy zone size and lowers the Kiss point position. The study finds that the optimal vibration frequency is 13 Hz, the optimal amplitude is 0.5 mm, and the casting temperature should not exceed 1 860 K.
压力-速度耦合采用压力隐式算子分割算法(PISO),压力离散方法选择Body Force Weighted,对流项离散格式选择QUICK(quadratic upstream interpolation for convective kinetics)格式,体积分数选择Compressive方法,其他计算项的离散方法均选择二阶迎风格式.能量方程的残差以10-7为收敛标准,其他方程以10-5为收敛标准.根据一些学者的研究[17-18],本文使用的热物理参数可能会随温度变化而变化,但这些变化对于熔池数值模拟结果准确性的影响可以忽略不计,可以将其视为常数.
