Improving the Conditions for the Solidification, Cooling, and Heating of Steel Ingots with the Use of Modeling

  • Published:
Metallurgist Aims and scope

Results are reported from studies of the conditions of solidification, cooling, and heating of steel ingots cast in ingot molds. It is shown that optimizing the length of time between the casting of the ingot and its charging into the heating furnace can significantly shorten the heating period and thus increase the unit productivity of the furnace, reduce metal loss from oxidation, and decrease unit fuel consumption.
