TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of process variables such as mold surface roughness, mold material, metal superheat, alloy composition, and lubricant on heat transfer and cast structure has been determined.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured axial heat-flux profiles from temperature measurements conducted on a slab mold under routine operating conditions and found that the heat flux was observed to have a maximum value at the meniscus and to decline with increasing distance down the mold.

TL;DR: In this paper, the axial and radial components of the velocity of the liquid surrounding the plume have been measured by means of a Laser-Doppler Velocimeter (LDV), and the results show that the circulation patterns are identical, irrespective of the dispersion regime.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the formation of oscillation marks on the surface quality of the slabs has been examined by metallographic in-vestigation of slab samples and by performing a set of mathematical analyses.

TL;DR: In this paper, an extensive study has been conducted to elucidate mold behavior and its influence on quality during the continuous casting of slabs, which combined industrial measurements, mathe matical modeling, and metallographic examination of cast slab samples.
