A plane stress model was developed to study the coupled effect of mold taper and corner radius on the thermal–mechanical behavior of a 250 mm × 280 mm continuously cast bloom for a given special steel. Good agreement was obtained in both shell thickness and the off-corner cracking location from modeling and trial experiment. The results show that increasing mold taper results in the obvious decrease...
