Impact of new upstream production lines on surface quality in continuous casting

Oral Presentation

During the continuous casting of steels, a carbon-enriched layer forms on top of the liquid slag. Owing to fluctuations in the mold, liquid steel may come into contact with this layer, leading to re-carburization. Previous attempts to mitigate this phenomenon seemed insufficient for the intended applications; therefore, mold powders with reduced or zero carbon content are desired. For mold...
