Crack risk assessment for caster systems
Cracks Preventer is an artificial intelligence system built using metallurgical expertise. It is designed to predict any defects that occur during the casting process along with the breakouts, that can be caused by them. Based on the prediction, it also suggests counter measures reducing the losses caused by defects and breakouts in real time.
Cracks Preventer provides solutions to encounter defect types like longitudinal facial cracks, edge cracks, corner cracks, slivers and laminations and breakouts that might occur due to any of these defects. Cracks Preventer aims to reduce these defects, achieving up to 50% improvement defect inflicted losses.
