Original Abstract
ArcelorMittal has developed on-line cooling models to predict the surface temperature distribution of slabs during casting. The model uses heat transfer coefficients experimentally determined by The Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Laboratory of Brno Technical University (HeatLab Brno). The HeatLab’s standard practice is to determine these coefficients as a function of position under the nozzle, spray water volume, and surface temperature using austenitic stainless steel plates as the substrate. The measured HTCs accurately predicted the surface temperature for a wide range of carbon steels from about 0.04% to 1.0% carbon. While casting 3 % silicon steels on a CSP caster it was noted that the predicted surface temperature was significantly higher than the actual measured surface temperature. This anomaly led to the concern that some of the other grades being cast would also have greatly different HTCs than calculated when using a stainless steel substrate. To determine the effect of steel composition on the experimentally determined HTCs at the HeatLab a series of experiments was conducted. The HeatLab used 9 different steel compositions using the same air mist nozzle and compared the HTCs obtained for the same nozzle operating parameters. The 9 steel grades selected were ultra-low carbon, 0.04% carbon, 1020, 1050, 1523B, 1080, a high aluminum (~1.5% Al) TRIP Steel, 2% silicon steel, and stainless steel. The carbon composition ranges from 0.04 to 0.8 percent and the 1523B has about 20 ppm of boron. All grades investigated had essentially the same HTCs as determined using the standard austenitic stainless steel substrate except for the 2% silicon steel which had HTCs about 100% higher than all other steel grades investigated measured in the slab temperature range greater than 900 oC. Therefore it has been concluded based on this investigation that the HeatLab Brno HTCs derived using their standard austenitic stainless steel substrate can be used for all grades tested except 2% silicon steel.
