Function: -
Provides a Stable Controlled Liquid Steel Feed to the Mould. Ability to act as a reservoir during ladle changeover Distribution of flow between strands Provides a Uniform Steel Temperature to Each Strand. Allows Floatation of Inclusion for Cleaner Steel. Must Minimise Heat Loss from Liquid Steel During Casting. (using tundish powder layer and tundish lid)

Functions: Moisture removal in tundish. Avoid freezes of first incoming steel of the cast. Avoid SEN choking during start of cast. Maintain ideal super heat in tundish. Avoid thermal shock to pouring refractory.
Mould
The continuous caster mould performs several diverse functions in a integration fashion It serves as: A heat exchanger that handles a very high heat flux(>1 mw/m2). A solidification device that builds up a thin solid shell. A Die which gives its shape to the product without tearing the brittle shell. A Chemical reactor with a huge through put which separate liquid steel from non-metallic.
SMS II , CCP Operation A K Karande
Convection of liquid super heat to the shell surface Solidification (Latent heat evolution in the mushy zone) Conduction through the solid shell The size and properties of the interface between the shell and the mould Conduction through the copper mould Convection through the mould cooling water
SMS II , CCP Operation A K Karande
Mould water transfers heat from the solidifying shell Mould cooling water flow, velocity and pressure is designed to prevent both boiling and control the mould copper temperature. Mould cooling should be as even as possible around the circumference of the mould.
