Descripción
Sumario:This research aims to investigate the control effect of asymmetric flow in a slab mold using a novel magnetic field arrangement: freestanding adjustable combination electromagnetic brake (FAC-EMBr). Three scenarios (submerged entry nozzle moves to the narrow face, wide face of the slab mold, and rotates 10°) were studied using three-dimensional numerical simulation. The results show that the magnetic field generated by the FAC-EMBr system can effectively cover three key zones in mold and that the magnetic flux density in the zone cover by a vertical magnetic pole can be adjusted according to the actual flow condition. The FAC-EMBr can effectively improve the asymmetric flow in a mold and near the narrow surface caused by the asymmetric arrangement of the nozzle and can effectively inhibit the occurrence of the flow deviation phenomenon and stabilize the steel/slag interface fluctuation. At the same time, FAC-EMBr has obvious inhibition effects on the surface velocity and can optimize the asymmetric distribution of the surface velocity and the upper reflux velocity caused by the asymmetric arrangement of the nozzle. This study can provide theoretical evidence for the development and utilization of a new electromagnetic brake technology.
