Popis: An engineering method has been developed to calculate an efficient length for the vertical section of continuous casters on which the semifinished product undergoes bending and straightening. The method, recommended for use by designers, was developed by analyzing the ratio of the volumes of the melt in which nonmetallic inclusions do and do not rise to the melt’s surface. The method makes it possible to quantitatively analyze the efficiency of the top section of the channel proposed for new casters to alleviate the effects of nonmetallic inclusions. The efficiency of this section is evaluated in relation to its geometry, the base radius of the caster, the thickness of the continuous-cast semifinished product, and casting speed.
