Solidification of skin grains in continuous casting

Project Information

Grant agreement ID: 7210-CA-326

Project closed

Start date 1 July 1991

End date 30 June 1994

Funded under

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

Total cost € 363 000,00

EU contribution € 217 800,00

Coordinated by

INSTITUT DE RECHERCHES DE LA SIDERURGIE FRANÇAISE
France

Objective

The aim of the research will be to study the solidification of the first layers of skin grains and to determine the influence of cast section, superheat, lubrication and convection currents in the mould on grain size. The overall objective is to avoid course grain sizes in the solidified skin.
