X-Pact^® Solid Control

Challenges

• Always best cooling strategy - grade independent
• Assurance of product quality
• Reaching highest slab exit temperatures

Solution

• Dynamic 3D temperature model
• Assistances for generating temperature curves, spray-patterns, segment gaps
• Material Information Center (physical fundamentals)

Key features

• Avoids edge & corner cracks in straightening area
• Assures homogenous solidification front
• Minimizes surface cracks
• Generates best inner quality by best possible soft reduction rates

Quality

• Perfect slab surface quality (avoiding edge, corner and surface cracks)
• Outstanding inner slab quality (less segregations)
