This book has been used as a valuable training manual for several decades. Non-experts in the industry and trade wishing to acquire some general knowledge about steel and its production and processing routes will find this book a useful, easy-to-understand introductory work. The current edition has been completely revised, including for the first time the topic of plant management.

material, post-treatment and general defects.

The tundish represents the inextricable link between batch steelmaking and the continuous casting process. In its initial stages of development, the tundish was regarded as nothing more than a reservoir to hold sufficient liquid steel to provide a constant head over the mold, and to permit a ladle exchange to occur without interruption of sequence casting. Continuous Casting, Volume 10 provides a road map to tundish technologies for steelmakers of varying levels of expertise.

For ingot processing by rolling and forging, it is essential that the ingot surface is free from defects and that the interior ingot structure complies with the requirements of the intended use. This applies to conventional casting methods as well as special melting methods. The bilingual German-English catalog is subdivided into ingot surface defects, ingot head defects, interior ingot defects and defects occurring during ESR.
