Development of a direct strand reduction method for steel

Objectif

This project will consist in casting metal between two parallel, mobile steel strips and between two side-walls, the whole device being water-cooled. The contractor hopes to achieve a rate of 10 m/mn which, given the experimental section selected (70 x 180 mm), will enable it to supply a small section mill working at a rate of approximately 60 t/h with a single strand. Previous studies have shown that the process is theoretically valid. There are however important points to resolved at the pilot scale which would, therefore, be logical followed up.

These include: (1) the protection of molten steel from the air to prevent oxidation, (2) coating of the mould to avoid steel adhesion, (3) scientific operation of the machine, (4) free contraction of the steel in the mould, (5) monitoring and control of secondary cooling, (6) synchronization of the exit speed from the machine and the equipment downstream.
