Continuous Casting Capabilities

Continuous casting is an advanced manufacturing process where molten metal is poured from a furnace into a graphite die, forming a continuous solid metal shape. The die is water-cooled, allowing the metal to solidify as it moves through. Once solidified, the metal is withdrawn through rollers and cut to the required length by a flying saw. Compared to traditional sand casting, continuous casting produces metals with enhanced properties such as greater hardness, strength, and pressure tightness due to the rapid cooling and controlled bottom-pouring conditions.

At Kormax, we supply premium continuous cast metals in a variety of shapes, including solid round bars, hollow rounds, and square bars. These products range in size from 12.7 mm to 457.2 mm and are ideal for industries where precision and material strength are critical. Leveraging our extensive network of trusted foundries, we ensure that our clients receive top-quality continuous cast materials tailored to their needs.

Continuous casting is a streamlined process designed for efficiency and consistency, producing high-quality metal products with superior physical properties. Here’s how the process works:

• Preparation: Molten metal is heated in a furnace and poured into a crucible attached to a graphite die, which helps guide the shape of the material.
• Cooling: The lower half of the die is water-cooled, allowing the molten metal to solidify quickly as it passes through the die.
• Forming: The solidified metal is pulled through rollers that shape it to the desired size and thickness, ensuring dimensional precision.
• Cutting: A flying saw cuts the solid metal to the required length, which can be customised based on project specifications.

This efficient process minimises inclusions and guarantees a tight, even grain structure, resulting in stronger, more durable materials. At Kormax, we ensure that our continuous casting products are free from defects like porosity, providing you with reliable, high-quality metals for every application.
