| Summary: | All the individual parts of a continuous casting machine serve, directly or indirectly, the ultimate goal of the installation, namely, the production of solidified steel of good quality in a continuous manner. The mechanical engineer often has to take into account the metallurgist's experience and point of view. This is necessary even in cases where for other processes a simple design without further discussion would suffice. In this article the inter-relationship of metallurgical and engineering design aspects are examined for the following four important sections of continuous casting installations: (1) Casting floor arrangement; (2) tundish position in relation to mould and ladle; (3) roller apron; (4) withdrawal and straightening unit. |
