Metal Casting Processes

Metal Casting Processes Metal casting process is the simplest and most direct route to a near net shape product and frequently the least expensive process. This process in its fundamental form needs a mould cavity of the desired shape and liquid metal to pour into the mould cavity. Metal castings are being produced for thousands …

Fluid Flow, Flow Control and Modifying Devices in a Tundish

Fluid Flow, Flow Control and Modifying Devices in a Tundish For the transfer of liquid steel from a steel teeming ladle to the moulds of a continuous casting machine (CCM), an intermediate vessel, called a tundish, is used. The tundish is intended to deliver the liquid steel to the moulds evenly and at a designed …

Nozzle Clogging

Nozzle Clogging The disorder of casting process because of nozzle clogging is a long-standing issue ever since the continuous casting process has been introduced. Nozzle clogging is the build-up of solid or semi-solid material on a refractory surface which can become problematic during steel pouring, as it can affect the stream dynamics, reduce the pouring …

Continuous Casting Mould

Continuous Casting Mould In the continuous casting process, liquid steel flows from a ladle, through a tundish into the mould. The mould is regarded as the heart of the continuous casting process and plays a very important role in the efficiency of the process and the strand quality.  It is in the mould that the …

Continuous Casting Machines and their Types

Continuous Casting Machines and their Types Continuous casting (CC) is a process of producing an infinite solid strand from liquid steel by continuously solidifying it as it moves through a CC machine. It is the predominant process route in a modern steel plant which links steelmaking with hot rolling of steel. In the CC machine, …
