In this paper, cooling plan is optimized to solve the central porosity problem of 450 mm diameter steel electrode ingot. The central porosity of ingot in corresponding cooling plans is calculated by the finite element analysis software ProCAST. The results show that in the plan of independent riser and strengthened cooling in lower ingot part, the central porosity has been significantly reduced.
