The rapid development of the iron & steel industry has led to a transformation in the steel manufacturing process. The continuous casting of molten steel into billets, blooms and slab products has been highly refined over the years into an extremely sophisticated system. The function of copper mould tubes is to receive the molten steel and to allow rapid heat transfer and enable quick solidification. The features of the manufactured tubes are:

• High casting speed

• Uniform shell growth

• No sticking

• Optimum billet quality

• Long service life

• Low cost
