Abstract

A theoretical model adapted for studying steel continuous casting technology was proposed. The model based on system theory contained input/output, command, and control parameters. The process was divided into five stages, i. e., tundish, mold, guiding system, guiding-drawing system, and guiding-drawing-soft reduction system. The model can be used to describe the physicochemical processes, thermal processes, chemical processes, and characteristics of the cast material according to the above-mentioned stages. It can also be applied to other metallurgical technologies and even to other industries (chemistry, food, etc.).
