Objective

The main objective of this research project is to minimise centre segregation especially under transient casting conditions. The project will undertake measurement and modelling of crater end position and shape during transient casting conditions. An innovative soft reduction concept is proposed where the bloom is preformed in the mould with an ellipse-like shape in order to promote soft reduction.
