| Abstract Scope |
The concept of the segment casting technology was developed by INTECO to provide a novel casting technology for special steels to reduce production costs at improved quality levels and combing this with moderate investment costs, highest production flexibility and improved operational working conditions. The process of Segment Casting combines proven technologies of ingot casting and continuous casting and features synergies from Electro-Slag-Remelting as well as Powder Metallurgy. Segment Casting comprises a vertical semi-continuous casting process capable of producing ingots of up to a diameter of approx. 1500mm or even more. The ingot length of max. ~15m is cut off-line to accurate ingot weights requested by the final customer for maximised yield throughout the production route. This paper describes the Segment Casting process including innovative technological key features, and provides an overview on possible applications. Furthermore, first operational results of large section sizes up to 1.200mm diameter are discussed and presented. |
