Continuous casting is a critical industrial process for steel production, yet its efficiency is often hindered by defects such as cracking and oscillation marks. The objective of this study was to develop a comprehensive mathematical model to analyze the behavior of slag infiltration and solidification in the casting mould. The methodology employed involved examining the interactions between various casting parameters such as casting speed and mould flux properties, which are crucial for predicting defect occurrences. Results indicate that the thicknesses of the intervening liquid and solid slag films significantly influence lubrication and heat flux within the mould, with important implications for the overall quality of the final product. The model effectively incorporates the interactions of different casting parameters, allowing for more reliable predictions of defects and the operational impacts of remedial actions. This research presents a valuable contribution to improving continuous casting processes by systematically addressing defect formation through enhanced modelling techniques.
