Description
Short description:
Understand the role and key components of continuous casting in the steelmaking process and its integration within the overall production route.
Long description:
This module introduces the position and role of the continuous casting (CC) process within the broader steelmaking production route. Learners explore how molten steel, after secondary steelmaking, is cast into semifinished shapes such as billets, blooms, or slabs through the CC machine. The module provides an overview of upstream and downstream operations, key CC components (ladle, tundish, mould), and final product forms. Interactive diagrams and process flow breakdowns ensure learners understand both the functional sequence and the role of each unit within the casting line.
What you will learn
- Identify where the continuous casting process fits in the steelmaking workflow.
- Describe the objective and output forms of continuous casting operations.
- Classify the main components of a continuous casting machine and their functional roles.
- Explain the transformation of molten steel into solid semifinished forms via CC.
- Interpret CC diagrams and process layouts to determine operational flow.
