There is a relation between the mold internal condition and the oscillation friction during the continuous casting process. This relation, however, was only proved after applying both Mold Oscillation Monitoring and Mold Profile Checker simultaneously. Check out the results down below.

Surface and format defects as well as breakouts may be caused by wrong mold profile and /or irregularities in the cooper mold profile. Knowing these failures is the very first step to prevent to become the next victim and accumulate losses. When it comes to such important part of steel making process, which is the CCM copper mold, some care and regular maintenance practices are of utmost importance to ensure its proper use.

During the continuous casting process, many factors may cause surface defects. However, two of them are very common and need special attention: oscillator’s trajectory errors and mold wear.

Nonetheless, it was not always possible to verify and prove the correlation between those two factors. With the advance of technology in oscillation monitoring, and in mold internal faces’ measurements, it was possible to prove this relation successfully. Find out more:
