Essay / Test on continuous casting - 735 | | of aluminum and many tons of other alloys produced around the world each year. Continuous casting is a process by which molten steel is solidified into a billet, bloom, or “semi-finished” slab for subsequent rolling in finishing plants. Process Description: Continuous casting the process begins with the flow of molten steel from a ladle through a tundish to the moulder. The concept of continuous casting is the use of an open-ended mold to cast an indefinite length of the desired cross-sectional shape. Molten steel solidifies from the cooled outer surfaces inward during the casting process, ultimately producing a fully solid slab, bloom, or billet that can then be processed in a secondary rolling mill or shipped as product in semi-finished steel. Continuous Casting: The continuous casting process is now preferred around the world for many reasons and has become a powerful method to produce high quality products with less expense. Besides other ways, there are reasons why continuous casting is so important: Energy Savings: The energy savings of continuously manufactured using the elimination of soak pits, reheat furnaces and rolling mills primary to reduce energy consumption during the process. Less waste produced: The complete continuous casting process leads to this result due to the high efficiency of the entire process and the reduced exposure. of hot steel in the air is also a reason to reduce scrap production. Improved labor productivity: The continued increase in labor productivity...... middle of paper ......sections in the body of a car in white (BIW). The steel sheet blanks are inserted into a press, the outer edge of the sheet is clamped, and the sheet is stamped between a male die and a female die. To achieve a deep section requires additional metal, which is removed from the tight region; the part is then described as “stretched”. Very deep shapes, such as door interiors or spare wheel wells, are “deep drawn” and require the most formable grades of steel. The higher-strength steel used in modern cars requires presses with higher compression forces. Press hardening, also known as quenching, is similar to press forming, but in the press hardening process, the steel is first heated to 9,500°C and simultaneously pressed and quenched in the die to produce very strong martensitic steel. Roll forming is a process in which sheet metal is gradually bent into shape using a series of rollers..
