ntinuous casting process.The temperature gradation from the inner wall of the mould to the outside face of the mould can cause serious distortion problems ,and it is imperative that the correct alloy is chosen for the various operating conditions.STANDARD MATERIALSPhosphorus de-oxidised copperThis alloy has been proven to be excellent for the manufacture of moulds in the co
ntinuous casting of billets .The main composition of this alloy are Cu +Ag 99.90min,P0.0015/0.040.Copper -Silver alloyThe addition of a small amount of silver ,whilst not increasing the melting point of copper ,does increase the recrystallisation temperature by almost 100â
,and also helps to give better thermal co
nductivity at the operating temperatures.This alloy is normally used in moulds for the co
ntinuous casting of blooms and slabs .In this case ,the moulds are much thicker than in the billet moulds ,and the moulds temperature can be higher.The main composition of this alloy are Cu+Ag99.90 min. Ag 0.08/0.12 O 0.004/0.012.COPPER MOULD TUBE Â The co
ntinuous casting of molten steel into billets ,blooms and slab products ,has been highly refined over the years into an extremely sophisticated system .The co
ntinuous casting process is expected to produce me
tallurgically sound products at the lower possible cost ,and this is being achieved in many steelworks throughout the world.Copper moulds have played an im
portant role in the development of the co
ntinuous casting process .Their funcition is to receive the molten steel and to allow rapid heat transfer from the steel to the cooling water to enable quick solidification.The mould must exhibit excellent thermal co
nductivity ,be resistant for thermal erosion ,and be resistant to distortion from thermal stress .So far o
nly copper and a few copper alloys meet the above co
nditions ,both eco
nomically and technically.SOLIDIFICATIo
nThe rate of solidification in the co
ntinuous casting process dictates the speed of production .The molten steel ,which is in co
ntact with the inner faces of the copper mould ,starts to sllidify as rapidly as the heat is extracted ,forming a shell .The shell increases in thickness as more heat is extracted ,and eventually total solidfication is achieved .the process is similar to the solidification of ingots in ingot moulds .In co
ntinuous casting ,the whole process is speeded up ,with the aim to produce and homogeneous shell growth.Co
nsequently ,the mould is an im
portant part of the co
ntinuous casting process ,and the manufactured quality of the mould plays and im
portant role in their length of life.INNER SURFACE COATINGSOver the years ,me
tallurgists and Engineers have been working together to develop better co
ntinuous casting moulds .The steel companies require a more eco
nomical mould which will give a lo
nger service life .Surface coating of the inner walls of the mould has given the best results to date .Coatings available are Chromium and Nickel plating .Also,a combination of the two give good results on slab casting.SPECIFICATIONS OF COPPER MOULDSquare Copper mould tubeSquare 60
