The equilibrium interfacial energy between a liquid iron alloy and a liquid slag is a key
physical parameter in the design of steel-refining processes as high interfacial energies are …

Unsteady three-dimensional flow in the mold region of the liquid pool during continuous
casting of steel slabs has been computed using realistic geometries starting from the …

This article presents a comprehensive and critical review of slag entrainment in continuous
casting molds. Entrainment is one of the main sources of inclusions in the final product, and …

Single-phase turbulent flow in a 0.4-scale water model of a continuous steel caster is
investigated using large eddy simulations (LES) and particle image velocimetry (PIV). The …

Compi lations anddata pertainingto the wettability and interfacial properties of Fe-melts
anddilute Fe-OS alloys on alumina substrates have beencollected and compared …

Slag entrainment during metallurgical processes is a common source of macro inclusions,
existing in a final product. This is the main reason why emulsification of slag should be …

A CFD model based on water model experiments has been created to simulate slag
entrainment and droplet formation. Multiphase Volume of Fluid (VOF) method is used to …

In order to gain an insight into the mixing behaviour of slag and metal under different stirring
conditions, samples of slag/metal interface were collected from an industrial 65 ton ladle …

A process model was proposed by Järvinen and co-authors for modelling the side-blowing
decarburisation stage of the Argon-Oxygen Decarburisation (AOD) process. Here, a new …

Kinetic restriction of a thermodynamically favourable equilibrium is a common theme in
materials processing. The interfacial instability in systems where rate of material exchange is …
