Chains of rectangular steel or copper blocks moving with the belts and spaced according to the desired cast width form the sides of the mold. Molten metal is introduced into the twin-belt continuous casting machine from a tundish through a nozzle placed between the casting belts.
Some continuous casting layouts feed several molds from the same tundish. In the mold, a thin shell of metal next to the mold walls solidifies before the center, and then the molded metal, now called a strand, exits the base of the mold into a spray chamber.
Continuous steel casting is a process to obtain casting billets by the molten steel casted into the caster, solidifying, and cutting. It is a process between steelmaking and rolling, also called con-tinuous casting for short. The steel billets pro-duced by continuous casting are raw materials for various products in hot rolling mills.
The steel billets pro-duced by continuous casting are raw materials for various products in hot rolling mills. As one of the most important technologies for the devel-opment of the iron and steel industry in the twen-tieth century, it has fundamentally changed the dominant ingot blooming process for a century.
Usually the ladle sits in a slot on a rotating turret at the casting machine. One ladle is in the 'on-cast' position (feeding the casting machine) while the other is made ready in the 'off-cast' position, and is switched to the casting position when the first ladle is empty.
In the periphery of the continuous casting machine (CCM), which is located the farthest upstream, there are large apparatuses such as a ladle turret, tundish, and tundish car, which slew, lift, and/or travel in a three-dimensionally interlacing manner.
Presentation on Continuous Casting Machine
After the molten steel solidifies, the billet is pulled out of the casting machine, and then the ingot head is removed and the ingot bar is put into the storage device. The continuous...

Continuous casting
Continuous casting, also called strand casting, is the process whereby molten metal is solidified into a "semifinished" billet, bloom, or slab for subsequent rolling in the finishing mills. Prior to the introduction of continuous casting in the 1950s, steel was …

Continuous Casting Process: the Basics | expometals
The continuous casting process is a very effective method to manufacture semi-finished products such as bars, profiles, slabs, strips and tubes made from steel and non-ferrous metals such as copper, aluminum and their alloys. Nowadays, more than 90% of the liquid steel produced world-wide is processed by continuous casting, for example. Even if there are different continuous …

Continuous Casting of Steel
Continuous casting is the important linking process between steelmaking and rolling. As early as 1856, Henry Bessemer suggested a continuous casting method but just during the 1930s and 1940s, continuous casting became a common production method for nonferrous metals and later from the 1960s for steels. The relatively low thermal ...

On the basis of the discussion in [34], [35], [36], the majority of reported studies have reached the following consensus: reference [11] was a seminal paper which coined the inerter concept and has sparked renewed interest in passive vibration isolation problems. References [40, 41] gave some inspiration in inerter concepts and devices. In Fig. 1, the main …

Continuous casting, also called strand casting, is the process whereby molten metal is solidified into a "semifinished" billet, bloom, or slab for subsequent rolling in the finishing mills. Prior to the introduction of continuous casting in the 1950s, steel was poured into stationary molds to form ingots. Since then, "continuous casting" has evolved to achieve improved yield, quality, productivity and cost …

Continuous Casting Practices for Steel: Past, Present and Future
Continuous casting practices for steelmaking have been constantly evolving ever since the early 1930s, when Junghans was first researching ways to pour liquid steel into an open-bottomed, water-cooled mold, to withdraw the partially solidified steel out of it, continuously, in the form of a round or square billet or slab [1,2].He envisioned that once these continuously …

Continous Casting Application Note
Continuous casting is the process where the molten steel is cooled and solidified into billets or slabs. The core is still usually molten with a hard outer shell. Molten metal is transferred from the ladle into a tundish, where it is slowly tapped into the casting machine. The mold in which the steel slips into is water cooled.
