Taking the mushy zone into considerations, a mathematical model for estimating the solidification profiles of slab in the circular-arc type continuous casting machine has been developed by the use of the integral profile method. This work represents the first published attempt to predict the solidification process in the machine like this.
The results calculated from the model proposed in this paper show that the nonsymmetry in solidification profiles between the upper side and the lower side of the slab is considerably small if the both sides of the slab are kept at the same cooling condition, and that the effects of the curvature of the machine on the nonsymmetry mentioned above are negligibly small.
