A two-dimensional transient coupled thermoelastoplastic finite element model has been developed. The model incorporates the effect of microsegregation of solute elements on hot tears using a thermomechanical property model of the mushy zone and the two phase zone of δ and γ. The model successfully analyses the thermomechanical behaviour of the solidifying shell of a beam blank during solidification in the mould. Air gaps form at the flange tip corners in the initial stage of solidification which reduce the heat flow and give rise to hot spots at the flange tip corners. Large tensile stresses develop in the surface layers of the web and the fillet which can cause surface cracks in the initial stage of beam blank casting. The flange tip region is in a brittle temperature range during casting because the air gap reduces the heat transfer from the beam blank to the mould. A large tensile stress develops in the internal region of the flange tip from the intermediate stage of casting, which in turn can cause internal cracking in the flange tip region. These analysis results are in good agreement with reported observations.
