  1. 1. A Study of the Initial Mould Filling during Up-hill Ingot Casting

    Author : Line Hallgren; Pär Jönsson; Anders Tilliander; Seppo Louhenkilpi; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; swirling flow; up-hill teeming; nozzle; casting; fluid flow; modelling; CFD; LDA; swirl; ingot casting; filling; red eye;

    Abstract : The fluid flow in the mould during up-hill teeming is of great importance for the quality of the cast ingot and thereby the quality of the final steel products. At the early stage of the filling of an up-hill teeming mould, liquid steel flows with a high velocity from the runner into the mould. READ MORE

  2. 2. Formation of non-metallic inclusions and the possibility of their removal during ingot casting

    Author : Lars Ragnarsson; Sichen Du; Carlo Mapelli; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ingot casting; tool steel; inclusion; runner; refractory; erosion; casting powder; cold model; argon shroud; reoxidation; oxygen measurement; CFD; PIV; Metallurgical process engineering; Metallurgisk processteknik;

    Abstract : The present study was carried out to investigate the formation and evolution of non-metallic inclusions during ingot casting. Emphasize have been on understanding the types of inclusions formed and developed through the casting process and on the development of already existing inclusions carried over from the ladle during casting.

  3. 3. A study of mold flux entrapment and gas entrainment in an ingot casting process

    Author : Jun Yin; Mikael Ersson; Pär Jönsson; Yogeshwar Sahai; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mold flux entrapments; CFD; Gas entrainment; Ingot casting process; Uphill teeming process; Side teeming process; Numerical simulation; Non-metallic inclusions; Metallurgical process science; Metallurgisk processvetenskap; Materials Science and Engineering; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : The focus of this work is to study the gas entrainment and mold flux entrapments during the ingot filling process based on physical and numerical modelling.The formation of the free surface was investigated in the uphill teeming method, which illustrates a dynamic change at a quasi-steady state.

  4. 4. Heat transfer,inclusion characteristics and fluid flow phenomena during up-hill teeming

    Author : Robert Eriksson; KTH; []
    Keywords : Laser flash method; thermal diffusivity; slags; inclusions; water model; ingot casting; up-hill teeming;

    Abstract : Clean steel production requires good control of the sizedistribution and the composition of the inclusions at allstages of the steel making process. So far, there exists verylittle information on the behavior of the inclusion populationduring ingot casting of steel. READ MORE

  5. 5. Hardening Distortions of Serial Produced Gears

    Author : Anders Olofsson; Stefan Jonsson; Julia Gerth; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; hardening distortions; crown wheel; main shaft gear; gear runout; back-face tilt; macrosegregation; ingot casting; continuous casting; case hardening; Materials Science and Engineering; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : Hardening distortions are unwanted changes in shape and dimension that arise during hardening of steel components. Uncontrolled distortions induce random errors to the manufacturing process, and have a strong negative impact on manufacturing costs. READ MORE
