Numerical simulation research on the influence of steel ingot of 76 tons and 8 corners with hollow riser

Abstract

The effect of a hollow riser on the upper heat dissipation of 76 tons and 8 corners ingots is studied by numerical simulation in this paper. Through the simulation of the heat transfer of the traditional riser, the 1 gap riser and the 2 gaps riser ingot, this paper draws a conclusion that the solidification time of the riser part of the riser is the longest in the 2 gaps scheme, and the solidification time of the central molten steel is 31417s, which is far higher than the other two schemes. The heat flux in the riser of the 2 gaps scheme is obviously larger than the other two schemes, which slows down the advance of the solidification front. The 2 gaps scheme is stronger than the other two schemes for reducing the cooling speed of the riser line center and the shoulder joint. It is particularly significant to reduce the cooling rate of the shoulder joints, which is more conducive to expanding the angle of the solidification front and fully filling.
