Continuous casting is considered to be the major growth area in the             U.S. steel industry.  It combines the casting and hot rolling                   operations, saving energy and handling costs.  The heat transfer and            solidification phenomena need to be better understood to perfect the            design of the casting machines and prevent formation of defects in the          cast metal.  The purpose of this work is to generate the knowledge              required.  The approach is to extend previous modeling efforts, using           ANSYS software for heat transfer calculations, along with material              property data generated in the laboratories of Inland Steel                     Corporation.  A model will be developed to simulate the continuous              casting process.  The model will calculate the temperature                      distributions in the casting mold and the solidifying steel, using an           assumed set of heat transfer coefficients.  The temperature solution            will be used to compute the distorted shapes of the mold and billet.            From the distorted shapes, a new set of heat transfer coefficients will         be determined for the temperature problem.  This procedure will                 continue until a consistent set of temperature and thermal stress               fields is obtained.  The work will be extended, using a super-computer,         from two-dimensional to three-dimensional cases.  Phase changes,                convection, and temperature-dependent elastic-plastic effects will be           considered.
