DIAZ-HERNANDEZ, Yusdel; FIOL-ZULUETA, Alberto  e  ARZOLA-RUIZ, José. Simulation of the continuous casting of low carbon steel profiles. Ingeniería Mecánica [online]. 2013, vol.16, n.1, pp. 22-34. ISSN 1815-5944.

In this paper an algorithm to simulate the process of continuous casting based on a physical -mathematical model using finite element methods was presented. The most outstanding characteristic of the model was the inclusion of complex processes of heat interchange, metal phase changes, distribution of temperatures in the mould, chemical composition of the metal, flow of water in the primary and secondary cooling system and the casting speed. Moreover, the algorithm permitted to predict the behaviour of the process variables in the continuous casting of steel according to its profile and type.

Palavras-chave : simulation; solidification; continuous casting; modelling.
