Deskripsi
Strand electromagnetic stirring (S-EMS), a technique applied in the secondary cooling zone, enhances the solidification structure of casting slabs. This study examines how the arrangement pattern of electromagnetic stirring rollers—face-to-face, side-to-side or up-down misalignment produces this enhancement. It uses simulations to analyze the electromagnetic field distribution in these configurations. The findings demonstrate that: (1) The magnetic flux density distribution in the casting slab is related to the arrangement pattern of the electromagnetic stirring rollers. (2) The face-to-face arrangement produces the largest and most concentrated electromagnetic force compared to the other two arrangement patterns. (3) S-EMS can effectively improve the equiaxed grain ratio of casting slabs. Before and after EMS is turned on, casting slabs’ average equiaxed grain ratio goes up from 8% to 33%.
