Pilot ultrasonically-assisted continuous billet casting-machine

Objective

This project concerns the construction of a demonstration pilot continuous casting machine for billets with assistance by ultrasonics either alone or in combination with other technologies (e.g. through-wall mould lubrication, modular ingot moulds). The primary objective is to improve as-cast product surface quality and the effects on the final product. Initial trials will concern spring steels. The project will be carried out in two stages: first the design and construction of the prototype ingot mould or moulds and, secondly, industrial testing. The effect of ultrasonics used either alone or in combination with other technologies will be quantitatively evaluated by inspection of the surface quality of products and by measuring various parameters such as the frictional force between product and mould, heat transfer in the mould.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.
