A CSI (Cracking Susceptibility Index) analytical model, which may represent the possibility of solidification cracking of the shell in mold, was proposed. And then, the change laws of shell CSI in the wide and thick slab mold during its solidification under the conditions of a typical continuous casting process of a steel plant was investigated. KEY WORDS Wide and thick slab, Mold, Crack susceptibility, Air gap 频发的连铸坯裂纹缺陷已成为限制高品质连铸坯生产的关键环节。长期以来为了揭示连铸坯裂纹规律，国内外冶金工作者分别从产生的内因和外因角度进行了深入分析钢中溶质元素在结晶器内初生坯壳晶界处发生偏析，使得坯壳凝固前沿晶界形成低熔点液相薄膜，从而大大减弱初生坯壳抵抗变形能力连铸坯产生裂纹的内在因素[1,2]两相区内的行为了大量研究工作[]，通过优化钢成分设计，有效地抑制了连铸坯裂纹的产生。与此同时，为了优化连铸工艺，最大程度连铸坯裂纹发生，基于数值模拟方法的连铸坯宏观传热与力学计算研究工作也广泛开展[]，。然而，在实际连铸过程中，钢在结晶器内的凝固是一个伴随溶质再分配、钢液多相流动、坯壳宏观传热以及力学综合作用的复杂过程目前在已开展的研究中，较少将综合进行研究，因而无法定量化描述连铸坯凝固过程的裂纹敏感性变化规律。鉴于此，本文基于坯壳凝固前沿溶质微观偏析模型和结晶器内坯壳凝固生长的二维热/力耦合有限元模型，研究分析宽厚板坯结晶器内坯壳凝固过程热/力学行为规律，在此基础上提出描述坯壳凝固生长过程裂纹敏感性的衡量指数—CSI (Crack Susceptibility Index)，宽厚板坯连铸结晶器内坯壳过程裂纹敏感性变化规律。 枝晶间距用EL-Bealy和Thomas的一次枝晶间距式[1]： 式中，λ为枝晶间距，μm；K，m为常数，分别为278.748和0.206278；v为冷却速率，℃/s℃/s；wC为C含
