Mould

Mould fluxes have a significant effect on the efficiency of the continuous casting process and the surface quality of the steel product is strongly affected by them.

Continuous casting solutions

  • Main properties
  • Lubrication between the steel shell and mould wall
  • Thermal insulation of the liquid steel surface
  • Liquid steel re-oxidation prevention
  • Control of the heat transfer between the strand and the mould
  • Equal flux distribution over the melted steel
  • Inclusions entrapment
  • Enhancing of steel product surfaces

Ingot casting solutions

Bottom pouring powders
  • Main properties
  • Thermal insulation of the liquid steel surface
  • Liquid steel re-oxidation prevention
  • Inclusions entrapment
