CC (Continuous Casting)

Continuous casting (CC) is a manufacturing process used to produce metal alloys, such as steel, into continuous, uniform shapes like slabs, blooms, or billets. Instead of casting metal into separate ingots, molten metal is poured into a water-cooled mold where it cools and solidifies gradually. The solidified metal is then continuously drawn out, allowing for efficient, high-quality production with fewer defects. This process improves productivity, reduces costs, and results in consistent shapes suitable for further manufacturing. It is a key step in modern metal production, enabling large-scale, automated metal shaping.
