Objective

The aim of this project is to develop a high productivity near net shape strip casting process which can be applied to the production of hot rolled strip for the majority of steel grades and which offers improved economic benefits. The potential capacity of the process shall be comparable with large slab casting machines and product quality shall be similar to conventionally produced material. The process involves liquid steel being fed on to a water-cooled moving belt. The as-cast thickness is about 10 mm, and to obtain the necessary technological properties hot rolling has to be performed in-line.
