SIMULATION OF THERMAL STATE OF INTERMEDIATE TANK OF ELECTRONIC BEAM FURNACE

Abstract

There was developed mathematical model of temperature pattern’s distribution in intermediate tank of electronic beam furnace. The model accounts for the power of electron beam, parametric sweep function of beam, parameters of water cooling, phase changes of treated material and convective current of melt from the delivery point to discharge of its into mold cup. There was developed computer software, allowing obtain quantity characteristics, as well as visualize the distribution of current of heat in the intermediate tank’s volume. There were showed examples of modeling of temperature pattern’s distribution, positions of boundary of hard and liquid phase in the intermediate tank under different power of electronic beam.
