The formation of defects during the direct-chill casting process can be reduced by controlling the heat extraction in the secondary cooling zone during the start-up phase. The control Thermo Fisher 42iJ Analyzer optimization of this process requires an accurate knowledge of the boundary conditions and their relationship with casting parameters. This research project studied the effect of different parameters on the heat transfer in the secondary cooling zone of the direct-chill casting process. This process was simulated by quenching instrumented[…]
