Introduction
Continuous casting is the process of continuously transforming molten steel into semi-finished products such as billets, blooms, and slabs. It is one of the most important technologies in modern steelmaking, as it improves production efficiency, reduces energy consumption by eliminating the need for reheating, lowers production costs, enhances product quality, and contributes to environmental sustainability.
