Projects

    WINCPS

    Casting Process Simulator for Windows

    Product position

    The Casting Process Simulator is a system, based on a sophisticated mathematical model, used for investigate the cooling process on billet and bloom continuous casting machines. It is applicable either on square product or on rectangular ones.

    Features and benefits

      * The WINCPS simulate the cooling process of the product, at fixed casting speed, from the mould to the metallurgical length. * It takes into account the effects of mould cooling, secondary cooling and free (air) cooling applied to the billet. * The cooling calculation model is customised according to the caster geometry, mould tube type, length and lubrication applied, secondary (spray) cooling details and process main data. * The WINCPS shall be run for all the steel grades, in facts the system is provided with data input fields for fine set-up of carbon contents, alloying and pouring temperature data.
      The WINCPS mathematical model gives the following theoretical results: * K-factor data from mould to metallurgical length. * Surface temperature data from mould to metallurgical length. * Internal temperature data from mould to metallurgical length. * Shell thickness from mould to metallurgical length.
      WINCPS is a helpful system for the process specialist, running the model he should do the following: * Investigate the actual casting process parameters: metallurgical length, surface and internal temperature trends etc… * Refine / optimise actual casting process parameters: check the results changing cooling intensity and other process parameters in order to get better product quality. * Increase productivity on actual casting process parameters: check the results slowly increasing the casting speed and cooling intensity. * Define new casting process parameters when a new steel grade or a new billet size is adopted.
