Causes: Surface cracks and lines on the casting due to the expansion of sand mold during pouring. Can result from high mold temperature or inadequate mold support. To prevent casting defects, it's essential to optimize the casting process, design appropriate molds, control pouring parameters, and maintain the quality of raw materials.

Continuous Casting (Concast)

Continuous casting may be defined as teeming of liquid steel in a short mould with a false bottom through which partially solidified cast is continuously withdrawn at the same rate at which liquid metal is poured into the mould. The main components for continuous casting, basic principle, mechanism of powder lubrication and types of …
