Abstract
Thermal behaviour of the solidifying steel structure is important for understanding of the defects during ingot solidification. During solidification and cooling, most metals shrink. As a consequence in upper part of solid ingot, pores and pipes of typical shapes and size are formed. Forming of pipes is closely related to the casting and solidification processing parameters. In the present paper the influence of liquid temperature, chemical composition and temperature gradient on the shrinkage intensity are investigated. The ratio of the pipe depth to total ingot height as a criterion of the pipe size is used. The values of the temperature gradients on the base of the numerical model solidification are obtained. The experimental measurements of temperature change have been carried out on laboratory steel ingot. The results by numerical model are compared with the experimental ones and showed a good agreement.
