These lectures outlines the areas on a continuous casting plant where caster instrumentation can improve the process control.
It considers how improved process control will produce better quality cast steel, in-turn reducing defects, increasing yield and production.
Learning outcomes:
– By taking this course you will learn how the caster instrumentation has improved the caster capability, product yield and quality of continuously cast product by:
– Improving the flow of steel in the ladle and tundish area
– Monitoring thermal conditions in the mould
– Continuously monitoring and controlling in-mould conditions
– Reviewing mould oscillations and width and taper control
– Maintaining the correct cooling and support in the strand guides
– Determining slab dimensions and inspecting the slab surface
