Effect of Non-Sinusoidal Oscillation Parameters on Mold Flux Consumption Rate

According to the rule of non-sinusoidal oscillation of continuous casting mold, a mathematical model was established to study the effects of oscillation parameters on the consumption rate of mold flux. The results indicated that the mold flux consumption rate is remarkably affected by the non-sinusoidal factor. This proves that the non-sinusoidal oscillation of mold contributes to increase the flux consumption. Moreover, the amplitude and frequency of mold oscillation have effects on mold flux consumption rate. The non-sinusoidal oscillation parameters must be optimized.
