DETERMINATION OF THE CAUSE OF THE FORMATION OF TRANSVERSE INTERNAL CRACKS ON A CONTINUOUSLY CAST SLAB

摘要

The paper describes a determination of the cause of transverse internal cracks on a continuously cast slab using an analytical software tool, called LITIOS. It is a complex system based on long-term monitoring of the casting parameters and their impact on the quality of the slabs. Transverse internal cracks are characterised by identifying the possible causes of their origin. Using the LITIOS system, selected constant (invariable) and variable parameters of the casting were assigned to specific cracks and on their basis the causes of the cracks were determined.
