Continuous Sheet Casting
In the continuous casting process, molten metal is fed through a refractory tip, solidifies and exits as a continuous sheet. The strip can then be coiled or rolled into a coilable gauge. Continuous casting includes four methods: twin-roll, belt, block and wheel-and-belt. Maintaining consistent operation and optimizing production are key.
From casting tips to troughs, Pyrotek products help casters reduce costs and downtime. Other products include steady eddies, headboxes, tundishes, thermocouples, end dams, coatings, Nekote release agents and adhesives.
Pyrotek's R3 casting tips feature premium ceramic paper and raw materials, are dimensionally stable, have no thermal shock or outgassing and excellent mechanical strength. Both hard and soft tips are available.
