Method and apparatus for high-speed continuous casting plants with a strand thickness reduction during solidification

摘要

Continuous casting process has strand cross-section reduction during strand solidification. The strand is cast in an oscillating mould and subjected to a linear cross-section reduction over a minimum length of the strand guide immediately below the mould, followed by a further "soft reduction" over the remaining strand guide up to a point close to full strand solidification. A corresponding casting plant is also claimed.
