Casting Methods

  • Chapter
Small-Scale Steelmaking

Abstract

When steel leaves the furnace it is transferred to the casting area in a ladle. It should at this stage be of a closely controlled composition directly related to the required final analysis and also at a temperature defined by the selected casting method, and the quality and quantity of steel concerned. If these conditions are not met, however excellent the casting procedure that is used, it is unlikely that a good quality steel product will result.
