Explanation

The method of continuously winding the liquid metal into the mold (water-cooled metal mold), and constantly pulling the liquid metal crust from the other end of the mold during solidification, so as to obtain ingots or castings with long length, referred to as continuous casting. It can produce various cast pipes, billets, slabs, etc. with fixed cross-sections in large quantities. Compared with mold casting, its advantages are that the metal yield is significantly improved (theoretically close to 100%), the production process is simplified, the ingot quality is good and uniform, the labor conditions are significantly improved, and it is easy to realize mechanization and automatic control.
