COBISS.SI-ID: 246732288A recently developed local radial basis function collocation method is used for the solution of the transient convective - diffusive heat transport in continuous casting of steel. The solution of the thermal field with moving boundaries due to phase-change and the growing computational domain is based on the mixture continuum formulation. The growth of the domain and the movement of the starting block are described by activation of additional nodes and by the movement of the boundary nodes through the computational domain, respectively.
F.09 Development of a new technological process or technology
COBISS.SI-ID: 1165819We have developed a model of steel hardness with respect to the process parameters of soft annealing based on the genetic programming. The described developments have been used in practice in Štore Steel company. We have increased the productivity of the annealing furnace for more than two times based on the described developments.
F.10 Improvements to an existing technological process or technology
COBISS.SI-ID: 1066747A numerical model is developed for the simulation of solidification grain structure formation (equiaxed to columnar and columnar to equiaxed transitions) during the continuous casting process of steel billets. The cellular automata microstructure model is combined with the macroscopic heat transfer model. The cellular automata method is based on the Nastac’s definition of neighborhood, Gaussian nucleation rule, and KGT growth model. The microscopic model parameters have been adjusted with the experimental data for steel 51CrMoV4. Simulations have been carried out for different castings.
F.09 Development of a new technological process or technology
COBISS.SI-ID: 1080315The method, described in this article has been used in the Pipistrel d.o.o. company for calculation and manufacturing of new, optimised airfoil profiles for a new four seated plane. G. Veble received Slovanian state award Puh prize for this developments.
