Abstract: In the continuous casting of steel, there is a variety of dynamic situations, both planned such as changing the steel grade, tundish replacement and unplanned such as breakout system interventions, equipment failure, etc. These situations cause variations of the casting parameters such as of the casting speed, casting temperature, intensity of cooling in the secondary cooling zone, etc. [..] Read more

Abstract: The solidification of liquid steel is generally accompanied with different phenomena, like solidification shrinkage and a change of the solubility limit of alloying elements. These phenomena are the base for negative side effects like micro- and macrosegregation as well as the formation of shrinkage cavity and gas porosity. [..] Read more

Abstract: Nowadays the efficient reclamation of used moulding sand is a vital part of foundries policies from both economical, technological and environmental-friendly points of view. The ability to use reclaimed sand of proper quality not only allows to save money that would have to be spent on new sand, it also allows the foundry to have smaller storage area and to reduce the negative impact on the environment caused by worn out moulding sand.
