Comparison of Continuous Strip Casting with Conventional Technology

Application of Open System Technology to the Continuous Casting Plant

In the renewal of old process computer system of the continuous casting plant, Nippon Steel Corporation has attained cost reduction by the introduction of general-purpose PC server and OS, and middleware (NS SEMI SYSTEM) originally developed in the activity of open system solution. Also the adopting general purpose RDB to the continuous casting plant has been realized in the first time. The red...

Continuous Casting

Continuous casting is used to mass produce basic metals into long, semi-finished shapes with constant cross section, which are later processed into over 800 million tons of steel, 20 million tons of aluminum, and 1 million tons of copper, nickel, and other metal products in the world each year. Cross-sections can be rectangular, for later rolling into plate or sheet, square for long products, c...

Modeling of Continuous Casting

1 The high cost of empirical investigation in an operating steel plant makes it prudent to use all available tools in designing, troubleshooting and optimizing the process. Physical modeling, such as using water to simulate molten steel, enables significant insights into the flow behavior of liquid steel processes. The complexity of the continuous casting process and the phenomena which govern ...

Continuous Casting of Steel

Continuous casting is used to solidify most of the 750 million tons of steel produced in the world every year. Like most commercial processes, continuous casting involves many complex interacting phenomena. Most previous advances have been based on empirical knowledge gained from experimentation with the process. To further optimize the design and improve the continuous casting process, mathema...
