Objective

This research project will attempt to overcome the problem of blowholes by reducing the amount of argon injected by developing new feeding systems for slab and thin slab casting. Additional objectives include the development of a gas- tight stopper rod and a flexible and accurate gas feeding system. Extensive plant measurements are planned at bloom, slab and thin slab casters.
