Abstract
Clogging of the steel in the submerged entry nozzle (SEN) is mainly due to the agglomeration and/or interaction of the steel with the SEN refractory material. However, the continuous casting steel also leads to clogging - the freezing of the steel in the SEN at the beginning of the casting. The freezing of the steel in the SEN results mainly in the change in the geometry, the low casting temperature of steel, the insufficient preheating of the SEN and the low initial casting speed. To eliminate the problems of steel freezing at the beginning of continuous casting, the authors solved them using a mathematical model of heat transfer in the SEN. Using the mathematical model, it is possible to simulate the layout of temperatures in the SEN and the temperature of the steel at the interface of steel - the inner surface of the SEN. To determine the temperature layout in the SEN after installation on the tundish, a method of measuring the decreased average temperatures of the SEN by free convection after heating was used. Based on the analysis of the current state using simulations in a mathematical model, it is possible to define conditions for preventing the freezing of steel in the SEN when the wall thickness or isolation thickness is changing.
期刊介绍:
Acta Montanistica Slovaca publishes high quality articles on basic and applied research in the following fields:
geology and geological survey;
mining;
Earth resources;
underground engineering and geotechnics;
mining mechanization, mining transport, deep hole drilling;
ecotechnology and mineralurgy;
process control, automation and applied informatics in raw materials extraction, utilization and processing;
other similar fields.
Acta Montanistica Slovaca is the only scientific journal of this kind in Central, Eastern and South Eastern Europe.
The submitted manuscripts should contribute significantly to the international literature, even if the focus can be regional. Manuscripts should cite the extant and relevant international literature, should clearly state what the wider contribution is (e.g. a novel discovery, application of a new technique or methodology, application of an existing methodology to a new problem), and should discuss the importance of the work in the international context.
