Abstract

In continuous casting process metal is melted in a furnace and transferred in a tundish. Pouring is accomplished through ceramic piping, and the tundish is covered to prevent oxidation of the metal. From the tundish, it is released into a mould. As the metal cools and solidifies, usually aided with water cooling systems, which surround the mould, finished cast metal protrudes from the far end of the mould. Torches can be used to cut the metal off at set lengths as desired. This presentation discusses on the continuous casting process description, mechanism, and control, hydrodynamics, heat transport, thermal analysis, solidification control and heat transfer, continuous cast product types, range of sections, and advantages of continuous casting technology for ferrous and nonferrous foundries.
