Objective

The aim of this study is to develop an understanding of the collective effects of mould powder performance and aspects of mould design on heat transfer and slab surface quality. The work programme will be a combination of laboratory, plant and model work studies designed to improve the understanding of these interrelated factors and their influence on the surface quality of the as cast slab semi.
