Self condition monitoring of continuous casting machines

Objetivo

In the continuous casting process the effectiveness of plant condition monitoring methods is restricted by the severe conditions, which make most of the measuring methods unreliable or expensive to maintain. The aim of this project is to develop new techniques and to improve existing techniques of monitoring and to improve the condition of continuous casting machines on both an on-line and regular off-line basis. This will provide reliable cost-effective methods to ensure an improved maintenance program for billet, bloom and slab casters, which will also indicate when casting machine condition is starting to deteriorate to the point where cast product quality suffers. The information obtained will be processed by the development of rule-sets and modelling to enable the installation of reliable and accurate plant condition monitoring systems, to assist prediction of maintenance requirements and thereby improve semi-finished product quality.
