| Abstract |
This the 2nd report of the Sub-committee on continuous casting and high speed melting is concerned with the causes and methods of preventing break-out of molten metal from the mould or ingot, which can give rise to a violent explosion. It should be read together with the 1st report, "Operational safety during vertical semi-continuous and continuous casting of aluminium" (CIS 2042-1972, Hput Led Xnr Cafa). Aspects considered are: failure in the mould; the cooling system; lubrication; casting procedures; metallurgical considerations. |
