Abstract

A study was performed to determine whether a temperature too high in the narrow plate could be generating a distortion of the mold corner below the meniscus, and if so, to evaluate an alternative design for the narrow plate. An accurate equation was developed to predict corner temperature as a function of casting conditions and water slot geometry.
