WHO WILL BENEFIT
The Brimacombe Continuous Casting Course is designed
for people who are concerned with controlling and improving
the quality and production rate of continuously cast
steel shapes. Persons who will
benefit include shop floor operating personnel, quality
control and research personnel, management personnel
and individuals in support industries associated with
continuous casting.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Topics to be covered include chemical interactions,
steel cleanliness, transfer operations, fluid flow,
tundish metallurgy, mould design/behaviour, spray systems,
heat extraction, solidification, segregation, electromagnetic
stirring, crack formation and new technology such as
strip/thin slab casting. The course offers a practical understanding of the continuous-casting
