Abstract: This paper reviews the "Metallurgical criterion" of slab solidification during continuous casting.
The effect of the following variables on metallurgical criterion of slab, solidificafion has been studied using a methematical model of heat transfer:casting speed, spray water intensity, water distribution in spray zone, superheat in tundish, convection in the liquid pool and spray water Temperature.
The authors has prepared a nomogram considering fhese factors in which reasonnaable technology parameters are executed.
