Coupled Thermo-Metallurgical-Mechanical Finite Element Modeling of Cooling Processes of Continuously Cast Slabs: Influence of Steel Grades and Process Conditions on Stress Evolution

As a key process subsequent to continuous casting, the cooling of cast slabs is of central importance for achieving desirably low internal stresses, thereby minimizing the risk of crack formation and structural breakage. Although the primary and secondary cooling process in continuous casting are well-established in re...
