| Slab Width Change during Continuous Casting Hisashi Omori, Mizuo Maeda |
| Synopsis : Two different techniques were developed for changing slab width during continuous casting. In one way, casting is continued without decreasing its speed. In this case, some vertical edges a rolling process are needed for correcting tapered portion of casting slab. In the other way, casting is paused, and step-like part connecting two slabs should be scrapped. These slab width changing techniques will promise: (1) Productivity gain: 30-50% (2) Refractories curtailment: 30-50% (3) Yield improvement: 0.5% (only by the farmer way) (4) Energy saving: 30-50% |
