Practice of Steelmaking 5

The volume was prepared by expert authors who have added their own practical experience to the known state of the art, including unpublished data and drawings for continuous casting of steel. The description is unique in that it emphasizes the metallurgical process from the viewpoint of product quality. Specifically, continuous casting operation and the metallurgy of continuous casting are described in great detail and thus should be of benefit to scientists and engineers in the steel industry as well as to practitioners in related fields. There is a wealth of information of the engineering of continuous casting, from capacity planning and design criteria to plant layout. Chapters on the development of continuous casting, and on the design of modern bow-type casters and its subsystems complete the comprehensive description.
