PHYSICAL MODEL OF A CONTINUOUS CASTING TUNDISH FOR ZELEZIARNE PODBREZOVA STEEL PLANT
Abstract
Increasing demands on steel quality, production and casting performance promote continuous innovation efforts in the steel industry. For example, mathematical and physical modelling of continuous casting of steel including the steel flow in a tundish is now a vital part of the overall optimization process. Within this framework, the SimConT laboratory was built as a joint effort of the ZP Research and Development Centre (ZP VVC) in Podbrezova and the Faculty of Materials, Metallurgy and Recycling of the Technical University of Kosice. The laboratory focuses on basic and applied research in physical modelling and optimization of liquid steel flow in a three-strand, T-type tundish used in the Zeleziarne Podbrezova steel plant at Podbrezova, Slovakia. A top-class, 1:2-scale physical model of the tundish is at the heart of the SimConT laboratory. The model uses water to simulate the liquid steel flow in both steady and transient casting conditions and is fully controlled by the Simatic® control system.
