02. February 2021 Product Quality, Process Robustness and Cost-Effective Productivity The continuous casting process is of crucial importance for the manufacture of semi-finished products. Liquid metal is introduced into a short, intensively cooled mold, which may include graphite inserts, from a tundish or launder. At the same rate, metal is withdrawn from the mold, where the presence of a stable solidified shell at the end of the mold needs to be assured. In the start-up phase, a starting ingot is positioned in the mold, and after reaching the desired filling level, the starting ...

Do you have the eye to reduce your shot-blasting costs? The degree of cleanliness of foundry parts surfaces has always been determined subjectively, which is very difficult for quality control. And, we expect to have the eye to assess that B is as clean as A? We all know that the cleanliness of casted parts is subjective, and its degree has a large impact on productivity, shot consumption and blast cleaning cycle times. Overcleaning to be SAFE is expensive!   When coating is required, its life is also greatly affected by the quality of surface preparation including its level of cleanlines...

20. January 2021 A solution to rapid changes of nozzle size in bottom pour applications When using stopper and nozzle technologies for bottom pouring applications it may be desirable to change nozzle diameters between fills of the ladle or even between castings. In normal circumstances this would not be possible as it would require removing and replacing the nozzle and stopper. Foseco VAPEX FOSLOW is a new system that allows for changes in nozzle diameter, even in a full ladle. VAPEX FOSFLOW alumina graphite nozzles use both carbon and ceramic bond technology. The combination of th...
