"The paper presents new knowledge from numerical modelling of porosity in heavy steel ingot using ProCAST software. The main aim of numerical modelling realized under the conditions of the Department of Metallurgy and Foundry and Regional Materials Science and Technology Centre at the VSB-TU Ostrava is the optimization of the production of heavy steel ingots produced at the companyV\u00EDtkovice Heavy Machinery a.s.Design/methodology/approach: The selected method of numerical modelling enables 3D fully dimensional numerical simulation of steel casting and the subsequent solidification of steel with the possibility of prediction of ingot defects.Findings: The numerical modelling of casting and solidification of the 90 ton heavy steel ingot under different boundary conditions of the casting led to these main conclusions: In all simulated variants, the final character of solidification was very similar. The lowest level of porosities were achieved in the variant when we used the longer filling time together with decrease of casting temperatures. However, the tested adjustment of casting technology appeared to have only small impact on the resulting porosity.Practical implications: The change of geometry of the mould will have probably more effect on the character of the solidification than only the small changes of the casting parameters which are dependent on the steel grade.Originality/value: On the basis of applied research in close collaboration with industry companies, the obtained data can contribute significantly to optimization the operating conditions, thereby increasing the efficiency of the steelmaking technology and final quality of cast steel."@en . .
