| Synopsis: The development of continuous casting technologies at Kawasaki Steel during the current decade is described from the viewpoint of operation and product quality. The operating ratio exceeded 92% by the introduction of tundish hot recycling technology and so on. Electromagnetic flow control mold (FC Mold) enabled an improvement in slab quality and an increase in casting speed up to 2.5 m/min. Synchronized operation with the hot rolling process made it possible to charge slabs into the reheating furnace over 850. FC Mold and continuous forging process were developed as the advanced methods for the initial and final stages of solidification. As a result of the technical advancement, the quality of DI-can and cold rolled coil have been improved significantly. |
