Continuous casting process:-
In Continuous casting process the forming die is an integral part of the furnace and thus there is no problem of controlling the flow of metal . The metal is fed by gravity into the mould from the furnace as it is continuously solidified and withdrawn by the rolls below . The die is water cooled and self lubricating and thus has excellent resistance to thermal shocks . The upper end of the die is in molten metal and thus serves the function of riser and acts as path for dissipation of evolved gases .
At the time of starting , a similar rod is put into the die till its upper end melts and forms Holding continuity with molten metal , and it is then Furnace withdrawn by rolls and the process becomes continuous . By this process , rounds , tubes , squares and special shapes can be conveniently produced and it is particularly suited to alloys like phosphorised copper and standard bronzes .
The physical properties of castings Casting - produced are superior to other processes . In continuous casting , solidifying zone being relatively small , practically all problems encountered with feeding and shrinkage are overcome . Problems due to fast cooling in mould zone are faced segregation and cracking ) . A greater degree of control is required in comparison batch casting . Asarco process is shown n fig.
Uses - Continuous casting process is specially suited to rounds , tubes , squares and special shapes , particularly made from alloys like phosphorized popper and standard bronzes .
Merits - ( i ) Physical properties of castings produced are superior to other processes , because metal is protected from contamination , while melting and being poured .
