Abstract

The mechanism of explaining liquid friction and flux consumption in a non‐sinusoidal oscillation mould is expounded by proposing a series of indices for estimating interface phenomena between mould and metal in meniscus and calculating the effect of non‐sinusoidal oscillation parameters on these indices. The results show that the liquid flux is periodically infiltrated into the gap between oscillating mould and withdrawing slab by the negative pressure caused by widening flux channel from the last stage of positive strip time to the last stage of negative strip time. The surface cracks on the slab, even breakout, are formed during the positive strip time and existing surface cracks can be healed within the cumulative negative strip time. The casting performances were improved by decreasing oscillation frequency and increasing amplitude and non‐sinusoidal oscillation factor.

On explique la friction liquide et la consommation de flux dans une coquille à oscillation non‐sinusoïdale en proposant une série d’indices pour estimer les phénomènes d’interface entre la coquille et le métal dans le ménisque et pour calculer l’effet des paramètres d’oscillation non‐sinusoïdale sur ces indices. Les résultats montrent que le flux liquide s’infiltre périodiquement dans l’espace entre la coquille oscillante et la brame en retrait par la pression négative causée par l’élargissement du canal de flux à partir de la dernière étape de temps positif de démoulage jusqu’à la dernière étape de temps négatif de démoulage. Les fissures de surface de la brame, et même la percée, sont formées lors du temps positif de démoulage et les fissures de surface existantes peuvent être réparées lors du temps négatif cumulatif de démoulage. Le rendement du moulage s’améliorait en diminuant la fréquence d’oscillation et en augmentant l’amplitude et le facteur d’oscillation non‐sinusoïdale.
