1. The misalignment of the nozzle of the mold causes uneven cooling of the molten steel in the mold, resulting in uneven thickness of the cast slab shell. 2. The steel liquid level is not watched ...
Continuous casting, also known as strand casting, is a manufacturing process used to produce large quantities of metal products in a continuous, uninterrupted manner. It is one of the most efficient and cost-effective methods of producing metal products, and is used extensively in the production of steel, aluminum, and other metals. The basic ...
The most common continuous casting shapes produced are tubes and solids. However, other continuous casting shapes such as square, rectangular, hexagonal, and many …
The casting process consists in a continuous outflow of molten metal through the hole under the influence of gravity. In contact with the cooled surface, the metal solidifies and releases it in the form of rods with a round or square cross-section or in the form of pipes. One of the applications of graphite are strip casting dies used for metal ...
Fig 2 Mould length and casting speed. There are three alternatives which normally apply for the continuous casting mould arrangements. These are (i) plate moulds for slabs and larger blooms …
The metal then cools and is withdrawn from the die in small incremental steps using a roller system. The size of the die determines the diameter of the product produced. Shapes of continuous cast bar include hollow tube, solid round bar and rectangular or square flats. Continuous castings are produced in accordance with ASTM B505 standard.
Aug 23, 2021 10:00:00 AM | Written by AMPCO METAL. Continuous casting is a cost-efficient metallurgic process that allows the production of metal sections with great …
The casting tube moves downward by traction of the dummy tube to achieve continuous casting. Through the coordination of forced heating, forced cooling and traction systems, a strong temperature gradient is …
Continuous casting is widely employed in the production of prepared/processed raw materials for post-process finishing by forging, rolling, or machining. It is used to produce aluminum billets, slabs, and other shapes. These are later processed into products such as: sheets, plates, extrusions, and aluminum alloys for various …
Continuous Casting also called Strand Casting is a process in which molten metal solidifies into a semi finished product such as billet, rod, wire, tube or strip. In Continuous Casting, the molten metal is continuously poured into a bottomless die structure which further solidifies into a shape of die.

Continuous casting practices for steelmaking have been constantly evolving ever since the early 1930s, when Junghans was first researching ways to pour liquid steel into an open-bottomed, water-cooled mold, to withdraw the partially solidified steel out of it, continuously, in the form of a round or square billet or slab [1,2].He envisioned that once …
During horizontal continuous casting, tube billet rests on the lower side of the internal wall of the mold under its own weight, thus permitting good heat dissipation. On the upper side, however, gap forms between the initial solidification shell and mold due to contraction. This in turn affects heat dissipation [12].
