The production process of continuously casting high-temperature molten steel into a slab with a certain cross-sectional shape and a certain size is called continuous steel casting. The equipment required to complete this process is called continuous casting equipment.

Horizontal continuous casting of steel is a new technology with broad development prospects. It has the advantages of simple equipment, low investment and convenient operation. In addition, the tundish is directly horizontally connected with the mold, which can effectively prevent the secondary oxidation of molten steel (prevent the liquid steel and injection of ladle and tundish

After more than 30 years of efforts, continuous cast steel has gradually replaced ingot mold casting. Continuous casting slabs with thickness of 150 ~ 250mm are widely used in various countries to produce plates. In the 1980s, continuous casting technology has made a breakthrough. At present, the continuous casting technology that can pour thinner slabs and higher pouring speed to make the production capacity have economic scale is developed
