Experimental study demonstrates friction force dynamics in continuous steel slab casting, indicating mold oscillation and flux parameters optimize interfacial lubrication.
In the continuous casting process of steels, the mold flux infiltrated in between a mold and solidified shell plays an important role to optimize lubrication and heat transfer to establish not only stable operation but also good surface quality of slabs. Therefore, lubrication and heat transfer was evaluated by measuring friction force attributed to the mold oscillation along with a lubrication model. The friction force was measured with a slab caster equipped with hydraulic oscillators, to understand how the friction force was affected by continuous casting factors such as the mold oscillation conditions, mold flux properties and casting speed.
