Optimisation of the straightening process in continuous casting

Project Information

Grant agreement ID: 7210-CA-184

Project closed

Start date 1 July 1995

End date 30 June 1999

Funded under

• Medium-term guidelines (ECSC) for the programmes of technical steel research and of steel pilot/demonstration projects, 1991-1995

Total cost € 913 500,00

EU contribution € 548 100,00

MAX-PLANCK-INSTITUT FÜR EISENFORSCHUNG
Germany

Objective

The objective of the project is to establish a theory of the unbending process, which is required for improvements of the basic design of straighteners for new or enhanced casters, both conventional and near-net-shape, and also to investigate improvements in the performance of existing bloom and slab casters. Numerical modelling will be developed and validated by extensive plant measurements on casters employing different straightening techniques.
