continuous casting
Continuous casting can be defined as a process of manufacturing in which molten metal is perpetually poured into molds continuously, further solidifying into semifinished products such as billets, slabs, or blooms so as to improve efficiency and uniformity in metal production.
Key Features:
- Continuous Process: allows uninterrupted metal solidification, thus serving to reduce turnaround time and raw material wastage.
- Forms of Product: includes all other shapes of semi-finished metals like billets, slabs, and blooms further processed.
- Improved Quality: Ensures uniform composition, fewer impurities, and even mechanical properties. Continuous casting is very special in the sense that all metals now can be produced at a lower cost with better quality products.
Most industries in the steel sector use continuous casting to fabricate fine-quality steel for construction and automobile applications. Small defects can be avoided, and the strength characteristics can be optimized, besides being essential for mass-scale production. Continued progress in technology introduces a pathway for enhancing efficiency, precision, and eco-friendliness in the modern continuous casting operations
