Description
Summary:Increasing requirements concerning the product quality have led ASCOMETAL to build research projects where the relationship between surface quality, internal segregation or porosity, and product quality are studied using numerical simulation. These numerical tools, more and more powerful and accurate, are today a deciding and validating factor used to improve our products. ASCOMETAL is equipped with process simulation software: continuous casting and ingot casting simulation software, rolling and straightening simulation software that can cover the entire manufacturing process of steel bars. They are used to study the effect of process parameters on defect formation or evolution. Applications are the adjustment of continuous casting primary and secondary cooling and the adjustment of roll pass design to improve the billet quality, internal porosity as well as bars surface quality.
