Development of General Computer Simulation Software of Secondary Cooling in Billet Continuous Casting Process
Computer simulation of secondary cooling in billet continuous casting is very important means to analyze and predict the influence of processing parameters on casting process and optimize technological parameter.Based on the structural characteristics of billet caster and the concept of finite thin sections along the casting direction,the mathematical model of heat transfer in billet continuous casting process has been developed and general computer simulation software of secondary cooling in billet continuous casting has been developed using Visual Basic 6.0.The software integrities continuous casting solidification process calculation,iterative and reverse calculation for the water flow of secondary cooling zones,regression formula of the flow capacity,data input and output,graphic processing.It has advantages of use convenience,multi-functions and has promising future in research,production and continuous caster design.
