Influence of mould metallurgy on concast surface quality

Obiettivo

Longitudinal surface cracking and depressions in continuously cast, medium carbon and austenitic stainless steels remain a problem, particularly for small cracks located near the slab mid-faces or close to the edges. The aim of the study is to develop mould technologies which will reduce the initial formation of longitudinal defects in steady state casting conditions and also to assess the effects of transient conditions on crack formation using neural network technology. The conditions immediately below the mould and in the top zone which influence crack propagation will also be investigated. The study will add to the fundamental knowledge of longitudinal defect formation and enable the identification of high performance casting conditions; this will also assist development of near net shape casting.
