Amurmetal will reach this target from August, when it launches a continuous slab caster to complement two new furnaces recently added to its plant in the far eastern Russian city of Komsomolsk-on-Amur.

A $105 million project to upgrade the blast furnace and continuous slab caster and to build a new hot metal transfer and treatment facility was completed at Stelco Lake Erie in 1998.

The keystone of the improvements will be a continuous slab caster designed to shape 1.6 million tons of molten steel directly into slabs, using less energy and less time and leaving fewer blemishes in the steel.

The company, based in Bethlehem, Pa., attributed the earnings to lower costs because, in part, of new, more-efficient continuous slab casters for making steel at its plants in Burns Harbor, Ind., and Sparrows Point, Md.

At this point, in both integrated and mini-mill steel production, the molten steel is poured from a ladle to the tundish of a continuous slab caster [4] where it flows into the caster's molds. Here, it cools and forms the slab.

LMS laser width gauge on continuous slab caster The LMS laser width gauge is based on the very latest LMS range distance lasers, backed by almost 20 years of experience of non contact measuring systems.

The continuous casting machine when commissioned was the very first in India.

In June 2010 the installation began of the first continuous casting machine at the plant.

It is here that the design of continuous casting machines may vary.

Phototypesetting or "cold type" systems first appeared in the early 1960s and rapidly displaced continuous casting machines.

Employing some 200 people, its primary purpose was the design, manufacture, installation and commissioning of continuous casting machines.

The cast metal from the twin-belt continuous casting machine is synchronized with, and directly fed into, a hot rolling mill.

The project included the installation of new steel making units, modifying the material handling, injection and sampling systems and the continuous casting machines.

As of 2010 the plants facilities include electric furnaces, a continuous casting machine, reheating furnace and a wire mill (rebar).

The beam facility will comprise an arc furnace, ladle furnace, continuous casting machine and rolling mill.

Molten metal is introduced into the twin-belt continuous casting machine from a tundish through a nozzle placed between the casting belts.

The General Explanatory Notes to Chapter 72, on pages 1067 and 1068, indicate that the products of continuous casting machines are to be regarded as semi-finished.

Starting a continuous casting machine involves placing a dummy bar (essentially a curved metal beam) up through the spray chamber to close off the base of the mould.

Icdas was founded in 1972 as a rolling mill and currently operates with two electrical arc furnaces, two continuous casting machines and two rolling mills.

Irving Rossi, a financier and metallurgical engineer who perfected continuous casting machines for steel, died Friday at his home in Harding Township, N.J.

The first successful continuous casting machine for steel in North America was developed by Atlas Steels, WELLAND, Ont, in 1954.

With this in mind a mini steel plant consisting of a 5 metric tonne electric arc furnace, a vertical continuous casting machine to cast steel billets and a rolling mill was conceptualised.

QIT-Fer et Titane Inc. was grouped with the integrated mills because it operates a basic oxygen furnace, a ladle metallurgy station, and a continuous casting machine for secondary steelmaking.

Once the final steel composition and temperature are achieved, the liquid steel is tapped into a refractory-lined ladle for transfer to the ladle metallurgy station, vacuum degassing, or the continuous casting machine.

Within the twin-belt continuous casting machine, molten metal progressively solidifies on the mold surfaces as it moves thru the mold region, with a sump of molten metal present between the solidifying outer surfaces.

The mid-1970s saw all of the major typeface technologies and all their fonts in use: letterpress, continuous casting machines, phototypositors, computer-controlled phototypesetters, and the earliest digital typesetters—hulking machines with tiny processors and CRT outputs.

With the installation of a continuous casting machine in the early 1980s there was something of a revival in the fortunes of the works, however, this was only to last for 10 years, the giant works melting its last in 1993.

The steel industry is one of the largest users of rotary unions primarily for continuous casting machines (CCM) which use rotary unions to cool the numerous rolls that support molten slabs as it moves by gravity through various segments onto a run-out table to downstream annealing and heat treating.
