Modeling and identification of the cooling and solidification process continuously cast slab billets

Introduction. The problem of parametric identification of a mathematical model of the process of cooling and solidification of continuously cast slabs in the secondary cooling zone (SZZ) of continuous casting machines (CCMs) is considered. The relevance of the work is determined, first of all, by the fact that the quality of the product obtained in this way significantly depends on the operating mode of the air defense system. The technological process is quite complex, not fully studied and, as a result, still poorly managed. Purpose of the study. Develop a procedure for parametric identification of a model of the metal cooling and solidification process based on data available for direct measurement.
