ժҪ The solidification structure of a continuous casting large round billet was analyzed by a cellular- automaton- finite- element coupling model using the ProCAST software. The actual and simulated solidification structures were compared under mold electromagnetic stirring (MEMS) conditions (current of 300 A and frequency of 3 Hz). Thereafter, the solidification structures of the large round billet were investigated under different superheats, casting speeds, and secondary cooling intensities. Finally, the effect of the MEMS current on the solidification structures was obtained under fixed superheat, casting speed, secondary cooling intensity, and MEMS frequency. The model accurately simulated the actual solidification structures of any steel, regardless of its size and the parameters used in the continuous casting process. The ratio of the central equiaxed grain zone was found to increase with decreasing superheat, increasing casting speed, decreasing secondary cooling intensity, and increasing MEMS current. The grain size obviously decreased with decreasing superheat and increasing MEMS current but was less sensitive to the casting speed and secondary cooling intensity.
