Computational models validate mold taper, gap formation, crack formation, and effects of mold distortion during beam blank casting.
Abstract
Computational models of the mold and steel shell have been developed to investigate mold taper, gap formation, crack formation, and the effects of mold distortion and oscillation during beam blank casting. The models have been validated with plant measurements.
