Objective

The main objectives of the project are to improve the quality of as-cast billets and blooms, adopting two differing approaches: - improvement of casting and casting flux behaviour for long products; - investigation of the potential to use pre-heated and pre-molten casting powder and to develop the technique to melt and distribute molten casting flux.
