Abstract
Based on the microstructures of steel, a thermo-elasto-plastic stress model of continuously casting billets is established to study hailal solidifying process in molds. Results show that peritectic phase transformation contributes greatly to the irregular shrinkage of initial shell, which makes the billets vulnerable to surface defects.
