Description
Designed for learners in steel manufacturing and metallurgical operations, this course provides an integrated understanding of continuous casting processes and associated control strategies. It begins with a contextual overview of where casting fits within the full steelmaking route and explores the mechanical, thermal, and quality assurance elements that influence output. Through focused modules, learners investigate casting components, thermal control (ladle, tundish, mould), oscillation parameters, and defect prevention strategies such as inclusion control. This course equips learners to analyze process variables, interpret casting schematics, and apply root cause reasoning to enhance product integrity and operational efficiency. Ideal as a technical foundation for roles in steel process engineering or metallurgical quality control.
