Reduction of the depth of reciprocation marks by controlled oscillation of the mould using servo-hydraulic actuation

Objective

Two ECSC research projects (7210-CA/805 and 7210-GB/802) have demonstrated the importance of controlling the vibrations in the continuous casting mould using a servo-hydraulic system to improve the cast product surface and to facilitate inspection. For the pilot experiment, one of the four strands in an industrial continuous machine will be equipped with a servo-hydraulic control mechanism as an alternative to the existing vibration system. This installation will enable full control to be achieved in regard to the length and frequency of vibration, it being possible to alter each of these two factors independently during casting. A comprehensive study of the effect of vibration conditions on the formation of vibration marks will be conducted. The system will also be capable of working under unusual conditions with high frequencies (up to 20 Hz) and low amplitudes (up to 1 mm). The research will be carried out at the Stockbridge works.
