By revamping to increase mould length and first cooling water flow rate
use active supply secondary water
automatic control of mould liquid level and mould electromagnetic stirring
the output per hour of 240 mm×240 mm concasting bloom increased to 84.67 t from original 64.73 t and casting speed increased to 1.0~1.1 m/min from 0.5~0.8 m/min. The casting steel grades were 0.2C steel bloom for tube
0.45C steel
steel for medium and low-pressure boiler tube
steel 40Cr and steel 20Cr etc. The maximum percentage up to standard for 0.20C steel casting bloom for tube in- creased to 80% in 2003 from 60% in 2002.
