  • Method of dynamically controlling the withdrawal speed during a healing cycle following sticking in a process for the continuous casting of steel
    Patent number: 5449034
    Abstract: On detection of an occurrence of skin sticking in the mould, the withdrawal speed is subjected to a cyclic variation which comprises a ramp from the cruising speed to a reduced, decelerated speed, a healing plateau, and an acceleration ramp from the reduced speed to the cruising speed, measures are taken to determine the ferritic potential (PF) of the steel which is being cast, to determine the gradients (d, a) of one of the two ramps as a function of this ferritic potential, and to determine the length (t.sub.r) of the healing plateau as a function of the difference between the liquidus and solidus temperatures of said steel.
