SUMMARY:Quality improvement by high performance mold level control and novel bulging compensation strategy
DESCRIPTION:Product quality, machine throughput and process safety are certainly the most important parameters in continuous casting. One crucial precondition to support those parameters is a stable mold level. If unstable, often non-uniform shell growth and casting powder inclusions occur. This can lead to various slab defects like cracks or bad slab surface quality. A totally new technology offers a proven solution in mold level stabilization: Unsteady bulging compensation via casting gap modification. Great results have been achieved in producing a very steady meniscus position and in the improvement of the mold flow conditions. This has an immediate effect on product quality. An analysis of production data and quality indicators like slab downgradings supports this statement. More specifically, all the data is put into relation to those quality defects and the results are compared to conditions with less performant mold level control.
