Continuous casting and strip casting

Molten steel is being cast continuously in to billets, blooms and slabs depending on the desired product i.e. whether long or flat products. In continuous casting, tundish, mold and secondary cooling sprays are arranged such that steel is poured continuously from the tundish and the solidified cast product is withdrawn continuously.

The arrangement of the tundish, mold and spray is shown in the figure 2.3.
