Many efforts are made to avoid macrosegregation formation near the centreline of these products during solidification. Mainly caused by feeding and bulging induced interdendritic melt flows, positive centreline macrosegregation leads to problems during the succeeding forming processes and to inhomogeneous mechanical product properties. Therefore, the reduction of this unfavourable casting defect brings an essential quality improvement. In continuous strand casting, the mechanical softreduction (MSR) is an effective technology to achieve this. The mechanism of MSR is studied in detail in the current paper. Hence, the macro- segregation formation inside a 25 m long horizontal continuous casting strand was examined for a binary Fe-C- alloy based on an Eulerian-Eulerian multiphase model. Neglecting gravity, the influence of feeding and bulging mechanisms on the form
