Real-time control of ferrite distribution in the manufacture of stainless steel slabs free of surface defects

Project Information

Grant agreement ID: 7210-PR-018

Project closed

Start date 1 July 1997

End date 31 December 2000

Funded under

• Medium-term guidelines for the ECSC steel RTD programme of research and pilot/demonstration projects, 1996-2002

Total cost € 900 500,00

EU contribution € 540 300,00

Objective

The overall objective of this research project is to develop real-time prediction of delta-ferrite content in continuous casting in order to prevent surface and internal cracking of the stainless steel slab. The main approach is to compare different mathematical models with direct measurements of residual ferrite distribution in slab sampling and with laboratory quenching tests of the same material. The results will also be of use in preventing cracking during hot rolling.
