Poster summary

The application of FeSiB family magnetic materials in the electrical or electronic industry has significantly increased owing to the development of amorphous and nanocrystalline metallic glasses using melt spinning and chill block melt spinning technology. With this technique, a thin ribbon is obtained owing to the jet of liquid metal expelled from a casting nozzle at high pressure and temperature over the outer surface of the wheel. As soon as the material jet is expelled by the nozzle, turbulence can occur in the solidification puddles. This generates defects and cracks in the solidification profile. In this study, numerically simulated ad hoc events in OPENFOAM® are comparatively examined using a real process.
