In the continuous casting (CC) of steel, understanding the thermomechanical state of the liquid steel during solidification is crucial for improving production efficiency and product quality. This study aims to develop numerical models that predict the temperature, strains, and stresses experienced by the steel throughout the casting process. Utilizing a comprehensive thermomechanical analysis, simulations are conducted to evaluate the risk of surface cracking due to thermal and mechanical variables. Additionally, the influence of production parameters such as casting speed and cooling intensity on the risk of crack formation is assessed. The results indicate that precise modeling can significantly assist engineers in optimizing process parameters to mitigate defects. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of bulging in the solidified shell in relation to centerline segregation, although the complete modeling of macrosegregation requires more complex methodologies beyond this scope. By providing insights into the effects of design parameters, this research contributes to better machine design and operational flexibility in steel production processes.
