Objetivo

Previous ECSC research projects have shown that the application of vacuum tundish technology provides a more streamlined and reduced velocity of liquid steel flow entering the slab caster mould, giving potential for improved cast product quality, particularly surface quality and steel cleannesss. The aim of this project is to develop further the equipment, instrumentation, and control mechanisms to be capable of routine production use in different slab caster designs.
