Funded under

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

Objective

The overall objective of this project is to establish reproducible conditions for defect-free casting of low carbon peritectic, hyper-peritectic and some grades of silicon alloyed steels. This will be achieved through a better understanding of the early solidification and cooling of the shell as well as the influence of chemical and process parameters. The investigation will be supported by the modelling of thermal and mechanical aspects of the early solidification in the mould.
