  • Process for predicting the emergence of longitudinal cracks during continuous casting
    Patent number: 8649986
    Abstract: A process for predicting longitudinal cracks during continuous casting of steel slabs. The local strand temperature is measured by thermocouples distributed in the mold wall. In this process, the risk of the strand rupturing as a result of longitudinal cracking is assessed statistically taking into account the current temperature values measured by the thermocouples arranged in the mold and the temperature values determined when no cracks are present.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 30, 2009
    Date of Patent: February 11, 2014
    Assignee: SMS Siemag AG
    Inventors: Dirk Lieftucht, Markus Reiferscheid, Matthias Arzberger
