Pioneer production unit for near-liquidus casting of bloom sections

Obiettivo

Previous ECSC supported projects have demonstrated that near-liquidus casting promotes a finer, more homogeneous 'as cast' structure and disperses central segregation, providing quality benefits, as well as the potential to increase casting speed and to continuously cast 'difficult' grades.
The aim of this project is to develop equipment capable of routine production use. The equipment will be validated in production casts to assess its suitability and operating performance as a routine production unit, together with extensive product evaluation.
Trials would be carried out for high carbon grades on a four strand bloom machine. Single and twin strand demonstration casts will be undertaken, using conventional strands for comparison.
