Cored wire Motor Hood is a widespread technology used for performing additions into liquid metal baths as an alternative to bulk-additions.A laboratory-scale study was performed in which the kinetics of assimilation of cored wire in liquid steel baths were studied.An original dataset of positions of the wire/melt interface of cored wire as a function of the time and steel bath temperature was produced.The dataset was compared against results of simulations made with a transient 1D (radial) thermal model of the assimilation of cored 4 Casters wire, and demonstrated reasonable agreement.
Hence, this paper provides a dataset that can be used as a resource for the validation of future developments in the field of modeling cored wire injection into liquid metal baths.
