A thermomechanical model for simulation of carbon steel solidification in mould in continuous casting

Abstract

The 17th Annual Conference of the Sheffield Metallurgical and Engineering Association (SMEA), held on 17–18 June 2008 at the Endcliffe Conference Centre, University of Sheffield, attracted 120 delegates. The aim of the conference was to explore the effect of hot rolling and forging processes on the quality and performance of steels and high duty alloys. Five technical sessions and 20 presentations explored process developments and their influence on product quality, how the hot working process can be optimised to influence microstructure and properties, and the influence of new technologies.
