E. Forster et al., FRICTIONAL FORCES BETWEEN STRAND AND MOLD IN THE CONTINUOUS-CASTING OF STEEL BILLETS WITH MOLD OIL LUBRICATION, Stahl und Eisen, 113(9), 1993, pp. 93-99
Analysis of the relative speeds between strand and mould. Presentation
of a tribologic model which describes the different variations of the
frictional forces between strand and mould in billet continuous casti
ng with oil lubrication. Effect of steel grade, casting rate, mould os
cillation frequency and mould oscillation stroke on the frictional for
ces. Reduction of the maximum and alternating shell load at mould osci
llation without negative strip time. Optimization of the frictional fo
rce variation through combined low stressing of the strand shell, high
-temperature strength of the steel grade and adequate heat transport f
rom the casting strand.
