Continuous Casting of Steel Practical and Scientific Approaches

29 August to 1 September 2017 | Cologne, Germany

This Continuous Casting Course is prepared to train persons in continu-ous casting of steel. In half a week the essential topics of CC are ex-plained in detail. The lectures are supported by exercises to intensify learning. The course is suitable to give an overview to newcomers and to train operating engineers in theoretical fundamentals. Also within the group many possibilities of fruitful discussions are given and realised

Content Introduction to metallurgy of solidification • Technology of continuous cast-ing of steel • Cooling systems • Strand guiding • Mechanical stress • Heat transfer in continuous casting • Development of as-cast structure • Fluid flow in mold and SEN • Performance of casting flux in the mold • Surface defects • Coupling of casting and rolling • Visit of the continuous casting section of a steel plant.
