Influence of meniscus fluctuations in the mold on crust formation in slab casting

  • Published:
Steel in Translation Aims and scope

Abstract

By analyzing the development of standing waves and surges at the metal meniscus in the mold and their influence on crust formation, it is established that wave processes in the mold may be responsible for accidents and affect billet quality.
