| Abstract |
Hygiene studies in a curved strand casting line are reported. The main hazards were radiant heat and dust from the fluorine-containing flux forming a protective slag layer. Exposure was effectively reduced by means of special heat-reflective glass screens and by charging the tundish with a powder flux packed in bags in preference to flux in bulk. |
