The process of continuous casting involves feeding molten metal into a tundish, which serves as a reservoir and helps to regulate the flow of metal into the mold. The mold is made of heat-resistant materials such as steel or copper and has a water-cooled surface to facilitate the rapid solidification of the metal.
As the molten metal travels through the mold, it cools and solidifies into a bar, slab, or billet. The speed at which the metal is pulled through the mold can vary, depending on the desired thickness and other properties of the final product. Once the metal has solidified, it is cut to the desired length and may be further processed through rolling, forging, or other methods.
Continuous casting machines have several advantages over traditional casting methods, including higher efficiency, reduced labor requirements, and improved product quality. They are also more environmentally friendly, as they require less energy and generate less waste.
