Abstract
Mathematical model for predicting the temperature field in the continuous casting mold is developed by taking account of the properties of casting powder.
Heat flux in the mold calculated with the aid of this model is found to be similar to the observed result except in the vicinity of the meniscus and at the lower part of the mold.
Calculated values of the average heat flux are in good agreement with the data observed at the various withdrawal speeds ranging from 0.8 to 1.5 m/min and by use of the various kinds of powder.
