Funded under

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

Total cost € 804 500,00

EU contribution € 482 700,00

Objective

The main aims of this project are to investigate: - the process conditions that significantly improve surface quality as well as the subsurface cleanness; - criteria to ensure that lubrication remains homogeneous and avoids surface cracks and, that liquid slag entrapment is prevented; - liquid slag carry-away at meniscus and detrimental perturbations of the lubrication between shell and mold. A new type of physical model will be developed and used to study the mechanisms for slag carry-away at the CC meniscus. Numerical simulations as well as industrial characterizations of the meniscus behaviour will be carried out.
