Abstract Increasing the equiaxed crystal ratio (ECR) is essential for the solidification quality of thin steel slabs during the high-speed continuous casting process. A three-phase solidification model was adapted to numerically predict the flow mode and ECR of a three-dimensional full-size thin slab continuous casting process. The effect of the switching period of strand electromagnetic stirring (SEMS) on ECR was analyzed. The results showed that the molten steel solidified rapidly in the funnel-shaped mold, and the solidification rate at the mold outlet reached 37%. Two recirculation zones formed in the molten pool when the electromagnetic stirring direction was fixed, which were separated by superheated molten steel. The liquid steel in the core of the upper recirculation was in a supercooled state. The flow pattern in the secondary cooling zone was composed of four or even five vortices after the stirring direction changed. ECR increased first and then decreased with the switching period of SEMS. ECR increased most significantly when the switching period was 16 s, which was increased by 17% compared with that of fixed stirring. And the distribution of the equiaxed phase became more uniform.
