- High turbulence at the liquid steel-mold flux interface can result in mold flux entrapments, which can generate non-metallic inclusions during the ingot casting process. Those non-metallic inclusions are detrimental to the final steel quality. The teeming process during ingot casting is typically carried out using the uphill teeming method. The authors propose a novel alternative method using a side teeming process, which decreases turbulence at the free surface. In order to define the optimum operational conditions, a 3-D mathematical model was developed to investigate the effect of the filling angle on the motion of the free surface and the resulting shear stresses during the teeming process. The investigated filling angles were: 0, 30, 45, 60 and 90 degrees. The present findings suggest that using the filling angle of 90 degrees between the mold and the runner would be an effective way of reducing the number of inclusions due to mold flux entrapments and refractory wear.
