✦ Synopsis

It is shown that simulations combined with experiments can predict the relations between temperature distribution, solidification velocity, chemical composition and mechanical properties of the steel shell. Simulation results and experimental microstructure parameters are used as input data for hot tearing criteria. A critical choice of hot tearing criteria is developed. The new ''damage model'' is going to be implemented in industry to determine hot cracking susceptibility in continuous slab casting.
