Advances in production technology and materials science, particularly for new types of high-tech steel, mean that an old concept called “twin-roll” is being taken up successfully. An alternative ...

Continuous casting remains a critical process in modern steel production, whereby molten steel is poured into a mould and solidified into semi-finished forms such as blooms, billets or slabs. This ...

Although world steel production has grown at a relatively slow rate since the mid 1970s, the process by which the steel is produced has changed, with a continuing shift from open hearth to oxygen ...

The continuous casting process is a fundamental operation in modern steel production, whereby molten metal is solidified into semi-finished billets, blooms or slabs. Optimisation of the associated ...
