Efficient Lubricant Supply to Molds in Continuous-Casting Machines

摘要

Software to provide information on continuous steel casting is based on a rheological model of the system consisting of the mold, the lubricant, and the casting. Using this software, the most effective mold configurations and parameter ranges may be selected; their influence on factors such as the formation of the mold surface and the resistance to steel passage through the mold may be investigated; and the supply of slag-forming mixture may be optimized.
