Continuous Casting
Steel
Continuous casting is the process in which molten steel is poured into a water-cooled copper mould allowing it to gradually solidify as it moves down the mould. Once the steel solidifies it becomes known as a steel billet, bloom, or slab. The process has become the preferred method for making semi-finished steel because of much better yield, productivity and cost performance.
