  1. 14. Numerical simulation of carbon macrosegregation in large steel ingots
    Anna Mantelli (University of Brescia)
    13/10/2026, 16:10
    Keynote Presentation (paper for journal's special issue)

    In steel industry, ensuring high steel quality is essential to guarantee superior performance of final components. However, defects such as shrinkage porosity, macrosegregation and non-metallic inclusions in steel ingots can adversely affect mechanical properties. Various software tools are currently used to simulate ingot filling and solidification. However, while these tools are known to be...

  2. 62. Physics Based Modelling as an Enabler for Machine Learning Defect Prevention in Casting
    Orlando Di Pietro (RINA Consulting - Centro Sviluppo Materiali SpA)
    13/10/2026, 16:30
    Oral Presentation

    The growing use of machine learning (ML) in continuous casting offers new opportunities for process monitoring and quality optimisation. However, ML approaches that do not explicitly incorporate physical knowledge often show limited robustness, interpretability and extrapolation capability when dealing with complex defect phenomena such as crack formation.

  3. 8. Using AI models to mould design, predict segregation, porosity and CET zone in steel ingots
    Mr Ovidiu Bogdan
    13/10/2026, 16:50
    Oral Presentation

    Ingot size and shape, porosity, segregation and CET (columnar to equiaxial transition) zone position in steel ingots have significant influence on the quality of final product and are the main reasons why the ingot manufacturers need the right tools to choose the technology parameters to get a cost effective product and improve the internal quality of the ingots.

    The goal of this work was...

  4. 39. Development of Industrial Processing Models for Prediction of Micro-segregation in Advanced Fusion Steels
    Dr Mikhail Trull (Sheffield Forgemasters)
    13/10/2026, 17:10
    Oral Presentation

    Steels for fusion applications will have stringent chemical requirements due to the activation potential arising from the high energy neutrons – therefore prediction of casting-induced segregation is important to ensure specifications can be met. The NEURONE (NEUtron iRradiatiOn of advaNced stEels) programme is a UKAEA-led consortium looking to develop advanced reduced-activation...

  5. 18. Modeling Remelting and Solidification: An OpenFOAM-based Approach for ESR and VAR Processes
    Matteo Gregori (RINA spa)
    13/10/2026, 17:30
    Oral presentation (paper for journal’s special issue)

    This project focuses on the development of an advanced numerical modeling platform based on OpenFOAM for the simulation of remelting and solidification processes of metallic alloys through ESR and VAR. The modeling activity was validated through experimental trials carried out at both pilot scale and industrial scale for ingots with diameter above 1000 mm.
    The experimental campaign included...
