This study investigates the flow behavior and solidification process in continuous casting of round bloom strands, particularly focusing on the effects of in-mould electromagnetic stirring (EMS) on microstructure refinement and inclusion distribution. The objective is to enhance the quality of semi-finished steel products by optimizing the casting process parameters. A combination of mathematical modeling and physical experimentation is employed, including particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements on a 1:1 scale water model, to simulate the turbulent flow, temperature distribution, and electromagnetic influence on inclusions within the cast steel. The results demonstrate that EMS significantly improves the solidification characteristics by reducing coarse dendrites and increasing equiaxed grains. Additionally, the findings indicate that the rotary effect of EMS plays a critical role in enhancing the cleanness of the steel by modifying the behavior of exogenous and endogenous inclusions during casting. This comprehensive analysis provides valuable insights into optimizing casting processes for producing high-quality steel with minimal defects and segregation.
