标题：Numerical Modelling Of The Concurrent Effect Of Solid Deformation And Melt Flowon Heat And Solute Transfer In Binary Alloys, With Application To The Secondary Cooling Stage Of Steel Slabs Continuous Casting.
摘要：We introduce a thermo-mechanical and macrosegregation model that considers a
solidifying alloy as a binary mixture made of a liquid and a solid phase.
Macroscopic conservation laws for mass, momentum and solute are obtained by
spatial averaging of the respective microscopic conservation equations.
Assuming local thermal equilibrium, a single equation for the conservation of
the mixture energy is then written. A single equation can be obtained for the
solute as well by invoking a proper microsegregation rule. The numerical
implementation in a 2D finite element code is then detailed. In order to
validate the two-phase mechanical model, an academic problem is solved.
Lastly, an industrial application for continuous casting of steel slabs is
shown, where the ability of the formulation to describe the formation of central
macrosegregation during the secondary cooling of slab continuous casting
processes is enlightened.
