CCM

 
We are competent partner for the optimization of your plant for:
Billet
Bloom
Slab
Beam Blank
Horizontal and vertical systems
Pilot plants
Special "know-how" we have in the area of ​​the mold level control systems, as well as the steel flow from the ladle through the tundish to the mold and the mechanisms that occur.
This know-how was developed by several customers together with the respective technicians, universities and international research institutions and is patented.
The observance of an exact mold level mirror is only one of many requirements in the continuous casting operation to cast high quality steel.
Avoid "bulging and waving" effects in the mold
Optimization when casting peritectic steels
Reduction of micro and macro inclusions in the steel
Use of various submerged entry nozzles (SEN) and stopper rods ore slide gates and their handling

Process:
Continuous casting process, metallurgy, solidification behavior
Tundish (geometry, internals, flow simulations, liquid metal models, water models)
Flow control parameters for highest accuracy (deviation less than 1 mm on the mold level)
Analysis and optimization of the mold level by considering the entire system of nozzle, stopper rod, mechanism, actuator, mold level signal, different control behavior in Bulging, Waving, Clogging, etc.
Slide gate, emergency slide gate and immersion tube changer
Stopper and slide gate control actuator (hydraulic and electromechanical)
Stopper controls (manual, hydraulic, electric)
Mold level sensors (radiometric and electromechanical)
Molds (primary and secondary cooling), breakthrough monitoring systems
"Soft Reduction" application
Mold oscillation with different parameters
Automation of continuous casting plants
Metallurgy:
Cast critical grades - peritectic steels, mold level control parameters, bulging suppression, casting powder optimization - PATENTED system
Submerged entry nozzle and shroud (SEN, SES):
Investigation of flow behavior of the SEN tubes, "clogging" influences and avoidance
Increase of the SEN service lives
Flow calculations and simulations (computers and pilot plants)
Optimization of tundish steel flow, stirring technology in the tundish
Stirring technology for stopper rod and nozzle plug as well as SEN tube for quality improvement and avoidance of impurities from the atmosphere.
"Metallurgy" of the tundish
Electromagnetic stirring in the SEN tube and tundish
Mold design, taper, materials, modular design
Systems engineering:
Design primary and secondary cooling
Strand segments, strand curves, mechanical equipment
Cooling bed technology
Casting area, tundish and tundish repair areas
Tundish preheater
Design of the tundish steel construction
Refractory:
Usage and optimization of all refractory materials at the continuous casting plant
Tundish (lining concepts, insulating concepts, optimization of the tundish "handling" during drying and heating, during casting and breaking out)
Shadow tube, shadow tube manipulator
Stopper and nozzle systems
Slide gate systems
Submerged entry nozzle (SEN) optimization, tube changer equipment
