Modelling the As-cast Structure in Large Steel Casting
An industrial steel casting might easily weigh from a few kilograms up to a few hundred tons. They can be cast either as conventional ingots…
Formation Mechanism of Macrosegregation
The compositional heterogeneity at the scale of industry casting is called macrosegregation. It is caused by the fact that usually solidifying crystals do…
Magnetohydrodynamic and Electrochemical Phenomena in Remelting Processes
In order to decrease CO2 production, the developments of a new generation of metallurgical processes using electric currents…
Steel Continous Casting: Solidification, Flow and Magnetohydrodynamics
For more than three decades numerical simulations of steel continuous casting considering solidification and flow are widely…
Nozzle Clogging in Steelmaking Processes
Although it was named “continuous”, the steel continuous casting is not always run smoothly without being disturbed. Due to this or that reasons, e.g.…
Peritectic Coupled Growth
This research project aims to get a complete fundamental understanding of metastable coupled peritectic pattern formation under purely diffusive conditions including of…
