Abstract
At PJSC «MMK» for wide walls of CCM molds there was a question of transition from drilled to slotted channels in order to unify existing models of molds, as well as to simplify the procedure of copper walls manufacturing and to reduce copper consumption. The main condition for the reconstruction is to retain the existing loop cooling system while ensuring a given thermal mode of the crystallizer. Results of thermal calculation of wide walls of the crystallizer with slot cooling channels are presented. For automation and visualization of calculation results a module for modeling these processes was developed in SCM FP "PolygonSoft". It makes it possible to predict the thermal field on the working surface of a wide mold wall to ensure a specified thermal mode of its operation, as well as to prevent copper alloy loosening and to maintain the specified strength properties. The thermal calculation of copper walls with slotted channels was carried out, and the obtained data were adapted to the computer modeling system "PolygonSoft". The presented results of mathematical and computer modeling are of practical character and can be used in the development of new unified designs of slab crystallizers of continuous casting machines.
