  1. 47. Experimental determination of partition coefficients considering peritectic reactions and application to macro-segregation simulation in a large steel ingot
    Shintaro Yano (Material technology laboratory, The Japan Steel Works, Ltd.)

    Oral Presentation

    Partition coefficients are key parameters to predict compositional segregation in large steel ingots. The random sampling method combined with mass-balance analysis or Scheil-Gulliver’s equation has been widely used to determine partition coefficients. However, these approaches have mainly focused on steels exhibiting single-phase solidification, and no reports have been found that address...

  2. 45. Minimization of mould flux entrapment during ingot casting through CFD modelling

    Oral presentation (paper for journal’s special issue)

    Minimizing the melt disturbance at the beginning of the teeming process during ingot casting is the key to ensuring high-quality steel production since this would minimize mould flux entrapment and decrease the reoxidation of the liquid steel. This study performs computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling to simulate the initial stage of the ingot casting process with different runner and...

  3. 17. Transition to synthetic casting fluxes in ingot casting area, Acciaierie Bertoli Safau case study: analysis of process variables and qualitative impact following the fly ash supply crisis.
    Sara Busolini (Acciaierie Bertoli Safau)
    13/10/2026, 12:00
    Oral Presentation

    The critical shortage of fly ash has driven a multistage transition in carbon fluxes for ingot casting: moving from traditional formulations, to fly ash free versions and finally to fully synthetic alternatives. While these alternatives aim for chemical equivalence, they exhibit fundamentally divergent melting kinetics and thermophysical properties. This study analyses the operational issues...

  4. 46. Characterization of mould flux-originated non-metallic inclusions in ingot casting
    Ms Qingxin Xu (KTH Royal Institute of Technology)
    13/10/2026, 12:20
    Oral presentation (paper for journal’s special issue)

    Non-metallic inclusions (NMI) are detrimental for the mechanical properties of steel since they usually act as defect initiation sites. NMIs could assume exogeneous (e.g. refractory, mould flux) or endogenous (e.g. re-oxidation) origins. The number and sizes of NMI that can be tolerated in tool steels which are used for demanding applications are even more stringent than regular steel grades....

  5. 16. A Multiphysics Front-Tracking Model for Thermochemical Evolution of Casting Powders during Ingot Casting
    Mrs Noura BELAICHA (MinesParis - PSL - CEMEF)
    13/10/2026, 12:40
    Oral Presentation

    In ingot casting, powder bags are placed inside the mold to release a complex mixture of oxides during filling. Their melting and spreading over the liquid metal form a protective layer that serves as an insulating barrier, prevents re-oxidation, and ensures mold lubrication. Effectiveness depends on the powder melting rate, governed by the free carbon content through a complex interplay of...
