Objective

The Meniscus Free Casting technology was developed for long products within the framework of two ECSC Pilot projects that had proven that the technology leads to drastic improvements of the surface and subsurface quality of the long products. The objective of the project is to apply the feed head technology of the continuous casting of flat products in order to improve the surface and subsurface of the cast products. The work programme is split into three parts, oriented developments to adapt the technology from long to flat products, specifications establishment, design and manufacturing of the industrial pilot mould and industrial trials, and associated metallurgical and process results.
