Objective

Variability in continuous caster operating performance effectively limits productivity and flexibility for hot charging and direct rolling. Casting powders are only one element, which contributes to the problems encountered. This project aims to determine and quantify the mechanisms which lead to problems, to develop monitoring techniques, and to investigate novel techniques for improving control operating conditions.
