STUDIES OF THE CONDITIONS OF FORMATION OF TRANSVERSE CORNER CRACKS ON THE SURFACE OF CONTINUOUS-CAST SLABS

摘要

A statistical analysis is made of production data to determine the effect of the main process parameters in the continuous casting of slabs on the probability of formation of edge cracks on the surface of the slabs. The parameters that have the greatest effect on crack formation are identified and several methods are proposed for changing these parameters to make the formation of edge cracks less likely.
