New Equipment for Improvement of Stainless Steel Casting Quality

Synopsis :
Installation of new equipment to No.1 continuous caster of Chiba Works, by which stainless steels are mainly cast, leads to quality improvements of slabs. Surface and internal qualities of stainless steel slabs are markedly improved by the development of the tundish heating system, application of high cycle mold oscillation, use of continuous width changes during casting, and construction of a new conditioning shop. Remarkable decrease in the grinding loss of slabs and quality improvement of cold-rolled coils are hence accomplished. Control of the liquid flow from the submerged nozzle in the mold by EMBR and the monitoring system of mold lubrication are continuously kept under experiment in the same caster to ensure the slab quality and the stability of casting.
