Introduction of a system for automatically feeding a slag-forming mixture into the mold of a continuous caster

The quality and safety of the operation of continuous casting depend to a large extent on making the correct choices for the slag-forming mixture and the technology to use it. Automated systems developed to feed such mixtures make it possible to introduce a mixture into the mold in small and precisely measured amounts, which improves the surface quality of continuous-cast slabs, decreases the number of metal products rejected for defects of metallurgical origin, and reduces the consumption of slag-forming mixtures.
