Abstract
The continuous casting of steel is simulated by means of Sn–Pb alloy on two models of the mold. One of the models, which has been patented, has a closed loop for two-phase coolant circulation. The following characteristics are compared: the cooling of the two castings; the temperature of the models’ cylindrical walls; the thickness of the crust formed; the structure of the castings; and their surface quality. The results are used in simulation of the thermal processes in a model with the continuous supply of an increasing heat flux and the correction of the processes for steel casting.
