Abstract:Dendrite growth is an important phenomenon during steel solidification. In the current paper, a numerical method was used to analyse and calculate the dendrite tip radius, dendrite growth velocity, liquid concentration, temperature gradient, cooling rate, secondary dendrite arm spacing, and the dendrite tip temperature in front of the solid/liquid (S/L) interface for the solidification process of medium carbon steels during continuous casting. The current model was well validated by published models and measurement data. The results show that in the continuous casting process, the dendrite growth rate is dominated by the casting speed. Dendrite growth rate, liquid concentration at the S/L interface, temperature gradient and cooling rate decrease with proceeding solidification and solid shell thickness growth, while other parameters such as dendrite tip radius, secondary dendrite arm spacing, and dendrite tip temperature in front of the S/L interface become larger with solidification progress and solid shell thickness growth. Parametric investigations were carried out. The effects of the stability coefficient, temperature gradient and casting speed on the micro‐structural parameters were discussed. Under the same conditions, higher casting speed promotes coarser secondary dendrite arm spacing and enlarges the dendrite tip radius, while decreasing temperature gradient, reducing the dendrite growth rate and making the solute distribute more uniform.
