SUMMARY:Challenges for continuous slab casters due to green steel production 
DESCRIPTION:"In order to maintain a sustainable planet for our children, the objective of decarbonization is drastically reducing carbon dioxide emissions. In the steel industry this leads to the replacement of classical BOF production as well as a change in raw material towards HBI and DRI.
This changed process routes confront continuous slab production with new challenges. While liquid steel input is changed in composition and residual elements, cast products have to maintain the same quality level as expectations on final product remain unchanged.

These challenges require new, flexible sensors and actuators integrated into the continuous slab caster. 
In addition to the support provided by advanced automation systems, this includes, among other things, an increasingly fine setting of the casting gap and the application of innovative cooling practices, as well as an active flow control through electromagnetic actuators. In terms of immediate adaptation to the changing requirements, these systems and actuators should be selected in such a way that they can be integrated also into existing continuous casting machines. 
This article discusses successfully implemented systems in process routes with non-BOF steel production in combination with continuous casting plants."
