2. 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

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 4. 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

7. 5. Some Aspects of Improving Initial Filling Conditions and Steel Cleanliness by Flow Pattern Control Using a Swirling Flow in the Uphill Teeming Process

   Author : Zhe Tan; Pär Jönsson; Ersson Mikael; Stein Tore Johansen; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; uphill teeming; ingot casting; flow pattern; swirl blade; TurboSwirl; realizable k-ε model; CFD.;

   Abstract : The flow pattern has widely been recognized to have an impact on the exogenous non-metallic inclusion generation in the gating system and mold flux entrapment in the uphill teeming process. Thus, a well-controlled flow pattern during the teeming process can improve the quality of ingots and further increase the yield during steel production. READ MORE
