Abstract
Numerical simulation was used to study the magneto-Joule heating effect of molten mold flux under a low-frequency electromagnetic field in continuous casting. The effects of electromagnetic field parameters on the conductivity of molten mold flux were also investigated. The results showed that the induced current and magnetic induction in molten mold flux increased with its increasing conductivity and excitation current, and the magneto-induced Joule heat also increased. The magneto-Joule heat was found around 0.97 × 103 to 6.29 × 103 J m−3. For every 10 mm decrease from the magnetic field action center, the Joule heat of molten mold flux increased 11.8% on average. A greater conductivity of the mold flux resulted in a more significant change in Joule heat.
