The intention of this study is to give an idea about the influence of water-spray cooling on the solidification process of the liquid metal which enables to locate the shear region. The effect of spray heat transfer coefficient (hspray) during the liquid-to-solid transition through the cooled zone temperature and the metal latent heat of solidification are highlighted. A gray iron continuous casting process subjected to water-sprays cooling was simulated using the commercial code COMSOL MULTIPHYSICS 5.2. The obtained results show the great influence of hspray on the location of transition region as well as the relationship between hspray, wall outer temperature, latent heat dissipation, and the solidification time.
