Continuous Casting

It is becoming crucial for steelmaking plant to stay competitive, control/reduce their cost, and increase productivity to fulfill the growing demand.

In controlling the quality of the cast steel product, the secondary cooling for continuous casting machines is the most crucial step of the process. In continuous casting production, reducing the intensity of the secondary cooling zone cooling which uses weak cooling can reduce and prevent cracks.

Nowadays, the demand for steel is getting more and more specific (like high tensile strength steel, advanced high-strength steel, etc.). The market worldwide is split between emerging economies where the demand and production are growing, the US with tariffs and their uncertain trade environment, and Europe with a slower production growth.

Spray technology is essential for efficient operations in continuous casting machines. The experts at RELAB can help you select or customize the highest-quality nozzles for consistent, controlled secondary cooling. We have extensive experience optimizing drop size and understanding its impact for continuous casting production of billets, blooms and slabs.
