Continuous Casting (CC) steel means continuous and direct forming of molten steel into semi-finished steel sections such as Bloom, Bilt and Slab. Continuous casting was invented in 1840 to produce lead pipes, but it was not commercially available until the 1930s.
Continuous casting is one of the most important manufacturing processes invented in the steel industry worldwide, resulting in improvements in quality, efficiency, productivity and economic efficiency in steel products. Today, over 2.5% of the world's crude steel production is produced by this method. The use of continuous casting is a very important and advanced metallurgical phenomenon in which the speed of ingot production is greatly increased and the metallurgical quality of ingots is improved due to uniformity and homogeneity of production.
