A second technology for steel casting is continuous casting. This process, typically used for the production of low-alloy steels or as a preliminary stage for remelting, allows the production of a material with specific characteristics more quickly and efficiently compared to ingot casting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_single_image image=”44677″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”The Continuous Casting Process” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_column_text]In continuous casting, the ladle containing the molten steel is positioned above a distributor with multiple outlet channels. These channels are directly connected to bottomless copper molds equipped with a forced water-cooling system. This setup speeds up the solidification process, minimizes segregation formation, and improves the chemical homogeneity of the metal thanks to the use of electromagnetic stirrers.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Advantages of Continuous Casting” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_column_text]The continuous casting technology offers numerous advantages over traditional ingot casting. First of all, it allows steel to be produced more quickly and efficiently, enabling multiple consecutive castings. Additionally, the water-cooled copper molds accelerate the solidification process, enhancing the final product quality.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Applications and Use of the Produced Bars” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Steel bars produced through continuous casting are individually identified and subsequently rolled to be used as electrodes in remelting plants. This step is crucial to ensure that the steel maintains its optimal properties throughout the entire production process.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Special steel production processes \u2013 Continuous casting: conclusion.” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Continuous casting represents an advanced and technologically sophisticated stage in the production of special steel. At Deutsche Edelstahlwerke (DEW) steelworks, which we represent, this process is carried out with precision to ensure a high-quality final product.
