Description
Short description:
Master the key process controls in ladle and tundish stages, including temperature regulation, oscillation settings, and heat flux optimization.
Long description:
This module explores critical control parameters in the steel continuous casting process, with a focus on the ladle and tundish stages. Learners examine how temperature regulation, mould oscillation, and heat flux influence casting stability and product quality. Through simulations, calculations, and schematic illustrations, learners investigate the impact of oscillation frequency, stroke, casting speed, and powder selection on heat transfer and surface integrity. This module emphasizes operational interdependencies and equips learners with the skills to identify and manipulate process variables in primary and secondary cooling zones.
What you will learn
- Describe the effects of temperature variations in the ladle and tundish on casting conditions.
- Identify mould oscillation parameters and their influence on solidification and surface quality.
- Calculate the impact of heat flux at various mould heights and cooling zones.
- Distinguish the role of mould powder in facilitating lubrication and minimizing surface defects.
- Use simulation tools to predict and manipulate outcomes of casting parameter changes.
