Measured Friction vs. Friction Index in Continuous Casting
Why Measured Friction Matters: Choosing the Right Caster Monitoring System In continuous casting, real-time insights into mold conditions are essential for achieving optimal performance and product quality. One critical parameter steelmakers use is mold...
How should a steelmaker look at data for a modern data-driven continuous casting machine?
This blog post covers historical data analysis, real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, machine learning, and data visualization techniques that steelmakers can use to optimize their continuous casting process and stay competitive in the global market. In our...
What data should a steelmaker use for a modern data-driven continuous casting machine?
In recent years, data-driven technologies have revolutionized steelmaking — and the most successful steelmakers are relying on data analytics to optimize their continuous casting process. We previously covered why steelmakers need to be looking at data — but what...
Why You Need Data to Improve Continuous Casting Quality
Improving continuous casting quality and productivity is a high priority for any steel caster. Top steelmakers strive to produce more, higher quality steel in less time and with less downtime. But that’s often easier said than done. This is where data and analytics...
Improving Steel Cast Quality Without Disrupting Productivity
Right now, the steel casting industry is at peak production. Your facility has been running so hard for so long that quality has started to take a hit. Equipment is beginning to fail. The price for steel has increased, but you can't take full advantage of that if your...
What is Mold Friction?
In continuous casting of steel, improving product quality and preventing breakouts are essential to profitable production. Mold friction analysis is one measurement that can help steel casters better understand constant changes in the continuous casting machine and...
What is Negative Strip Time?
When it comes to the quality of continuous casting, steelmakers know that mold oscillation plays a vital role. One important concept that's often discussed in regards to mold oscillation and continuous casting is negative strip, which is usually expressed as negative...
Acoustic vs Electromagnetic Ladle Slag Detection Systems: What’s the Difference
Steelmakers know that one of the greatest threats to steel production quality is slag carryover from the ladle to the tundish. Traditionally, operators would physically sense the change in vibration at the handles of the ladle shroud manipulator and manually close the...
Economic Benefits of a Ladle Slag Detection System
Ladle slag carryover is a significant concern for steelmakers working to improve the yield and quality of their continuous casting process. For those seeking an effective method to reduce slag carryover, ladle slag detection systems are an attractive option. These...
