Resumo
Over the life span of a continuous casting machine the requirements in terms of production output, product quality and the range of steel grades may change significantly. Consistent production of prime quality over the extended steel grade range requires an increased operational and maintenance flexibility which can be missing from existing casters. The secondary cooling system is a key technology area and its modification can greatly contribute to increased production, quality and flexibility. A caster secondary cooling audit is a systematic and structured approach to determine how an existing secondary cooling system, operational practices and process automation data, impact on quality and productivity. The scope of an audit can vary from simply increasing nozzle capacities to a complete redesign of a secondary cooling system.
