Abstract

Improvements have been made to slab, bloom, billet and thin slab caster secondary cooling systems giving better control of strand surface temperature and quality. This has been achieved by a combination of laboratory-based tests of spray characteristics and heat transfer coefficient (htc), innovative mathematical modelling and detailed on-plant measurements of temperatures and spray conditions.
