Modeling and Optimization of Mould Non-Sinusoidal Oscillation Process

A model on non-sinusoidal oscillation of continuous casting mould was established to study the pressure in flux channel. The effects of oscillation parameters on the pressure in flux channel were researched. The non-sinusoidal oscillation parameters were optimized. When the casting speed is 1.8 m·min-1, the optimized oscillation parameters are: non-sinusoidal factor (α) is 0.198, oscillation amplitude (s) is ±4mm and oscillation frequency (f) is 165min-1. When the casting speed is 2.0 m·min-1, the optimized oscillation parameters are: α is 0.186, s is ±4.5mm and f is 155min-1. These optimized oscillation parameters are proved applicable in practice.
