INTRODUCTION
The company designs and manufactures the continuous casting systems and equipments for the steel plants. Continuous casting, also called strand casting, is the process whereby molten metal is solidified into a "semi-finished" billet, bloom, or slab for subsequent rolling in the finishing mills. Prior to the introduction of continuous casting in the 1950s, steel was poured into stationary moulds to form ingots. Since then, "continuous casting" has evolved from a batch process into a sophisticated continuous process. This transformation has occurred through understanding principles of mechanical design, heat-transfer, metallurgical properties and stress-strain relationships, to produce a product with excellent shape and quality. In recent years, the process has been optimized through careful integration of electro-mechanical sensors, computer-control, and production planning to provide a highly-automated system designed for the new millennium. It allows lower-cost production of metal sections with better quality, due to the inherently lower costs of continuous, standardised production of a product. This process is used most frequently to cast steel.
