Abstract

"A comprehensive modernization concept of SMS group includes the mold oscillation and the mold itself. For the mold, SMS group developed the Delta speed narrow face adjustment during casting and the HD mold with breakout prevention system and longitudinal facial crack detection via thermocouples or fiber optics. For extending the strand guide or widening the slab format SMS group has the appropriate solution for production increase or amplified product range in order to make the plant fit for the future. A strand guide system teaming up with the dynamic solidification model DSC® enables Dynamic Soft Reduction®. Applied with the suitable rate at the optimum position it contributes significantly to a homogeneous and crack-free slab microstructure. Perfect alignment of the strand guide is crucial for maintaining an optimum quality. HD LASr aligning assistant with three-dimensional laser measuring system and intuitive operating concept is SMS group’s answer. SMS group’s air-mist secondary cooling system which is characterized by a fine-adjustable, width-dependent breakdown of the cooling zones ensures crack-free slab surfaces. Thanks to the Eco-Mode allowing on-demand addition of utility systems, the continuous casting plant will meet the increased requirements with regard to environmental protection "
