Improvement in billet & bloom surface quality through developments in mould level & powder depth measurement & control, including automatic power feed

Objective

Initial solidification in the casting mould has an enormous impact on surface quality. Uniform heat transfer and good lubrication are of vital importance and these are affected by the efficient delivery of mould powder and the stability of the steel meniscus. The project will aim to demonstrate techniques to improve the delivery and utilisation of powder and to stabilise the mould level. Intelligent automatic powder feed systems will be developed and mould thermal conditions will be modified by adjusting casting parameters. A novel mould level measuring device will be used to demonstrate improved mould level control.
