Obiettivo Since failures originating from insufficient internal quality are most often not detected before the final product stage, production costs can be reduced significantly by controlling macro- and microsegregation and internal porosity. These effects are related to the microstructure of the cast steel. Measures improving the segregation index, such as casting with low superheat, are often related to a deterioration in steel cleanness. An objective of this project is to systematically investigate the origin of defects related to microstructure and to investigate those parameters which control the development of the solidification structure and the centre segregation with a high residual level of steel cleanliness under industrial conditions. Therefore, coordinated plant trials, numerical modelling and laboratory experiments will be performed.
