Objective
The aim of this joint research project is to quantify and to optimise the influence of process technique and process metallurgy parameters in the continuous casting of slabs on the macro-cleanness of various steel grades with very high cleanness requirements. The proposed research work is based on the MIDAS-US detection technique and QTM methods for measuring the macro-cleanness of as-cast samples of slabs, further to the significant progress made in cleanness assessment methods in several other ECSC projects. Using these systems the influence of process technique and metallurgy as well as plant type in the ladle-tundish-mould system are to be correlated with macro- cleanness, with special emphasis on tundish metallurgy and submerged nozzle design. Steel grades with elevated product specifications are deep drawing steels for DWI tin cans with very thin walls, unalloyed and micro-alloyed deep drawing steels for car bodies, steels for shadow masks for HDTV, as well as steel grades for HIC resistant tubes.
