Optimization of block casting

Your goals:

• Cost-effective evaluation of possible process changes
• Improve product quality
• Avoiding rejects

Our portfolio:

Design / optimization of pouring system, mold geometry and thermal boundary conditions by:

• Operational observations, measurements, tests
• Experimental investigations on the physical model
• Numerical Simulation (Computational Fluid Dynamics)
• Experiences from successfully completed research and development projects at various plants
