Driven by obvious advantages of the vertical casting process for very special steel grades there is a new trend to use vertical casting even for heavy bloom round sections. Compared with ingot casting routes, this technology reaches 12.5% more yield. Thus an additional share of the today’s ingot casting route can be shifted to the more cost effective continuous casting line.
Key words: Continuous casting / vertical caster / special steel / three roll drive unit
