Abstract:In order to improve the solidification structure of 20CrMnTi billet, a moving boundary method was used to simulate the temperature distribution of 20CrMnTi billets in continuous casting. On this basis, using CAFE (cellular automaton-finite element analysis) approach, the solidification structure of 20CrMnTi billets were studied by numerical simulation. When the simulation results and actual results were in a good agreement, the effects of alloying elements, such as Si, Cr, Mn and Ti, on the solidification structure of 20CrMnTi billets were further discussed. The simulation results show that within the specified range of alloying elements of the 20CrMnTi steel, with the appropriate reduction of Si, the proportion of the billet equiaxed grains in the center increased, and the number of grains increased, hence the average grain radius reduced. Properly increasing the content of Cr could enhance the ratio of equiaxed grains, reduce the average radius of grain and increase the number of grains. The increased content of Mn tended to raise the ratio of equiaxed grains. Finally, based on the simulation results, the alloy element of the 20CrMnTi steel was adjusted to expand the area of equiaxed grain in the billet center and refine the grain size.
