Abstract

In continuous casting process, avoiding crack formation is very important for the producers. This paper examines the effect of nickel-coated mold wall upon the cracks during casting of steel. Casting products are analyzed in this study and the test reveals nickel coating is the best possible output on the basis of slab quality. Moreover, molds coated by nickel have more service life than copper based molds.
