Influence of Hot Top Height on Macrosegregation and Material Yield in a Large-Size Cast Steel Ingot Using Modeling and Experimental Validation

The effect of the hot top height on the formation of positive and negative macrosegregation patterns, the ingot quality, and the material yield during solidification of a 12 MT cast ingot made of a Cr-Mo-low alloy steel was investigated. A 3D numerical simulation of the process was conducted using f...
