The solidification structure of 6.5%Si steel ingot was simulated based on CAFE method. The simulation results, both the average grain size and proportion of columnar crystals, agree well with the experimental results. The values suitable for simulating the structure of high silicon steel wad ascertained, which are nS,max=3.5×105 m-2, nV,max=1.66×108m-3, ΔTS,n =0.5K, ΔTV,n =7.5K, ΔTS,σ=0.1K, ΔTV,σ=0.1K. The influence of superheat and cooling condition on the solidification structure are studied. It is shown that with the superheat decreasing, the proportion of columnar crystals decrease, and the average grain size become smaller. Under water cooling condition, the solidification structure of casting is composed of almost all coarse columnar grains. Under air cooling condition, equiaxed grains zone expanded, while columnar grains still account for the main part of the structure. Under slow cooling condition, equiaxed grains account for the main part of the structure and the average grain size is basically the same with those under air cooling condition.
