PTC for High Grade Steel Ingots

PTC Advantages for high grade steel ingot

Production cost reduction by 10%-20%
Ingot casting yield increase from 80% to 90%
Segregation reduction
Grain refinement
Mechanical properties improvement
Enables ingots casting with larger dimensions
Shrinkage and porosity elimination
Environmental emission reduction by 35%

As a result significant production cost savings and t in product quality improvement is achieved.

The PTC process has been tested commercially by several casters, for high grade steel ingots.
Using the PTC process to stir the molten metal during the solidification eliminates shrinkage, porosity and reduces segregation, thus increases the yield from 80% to 90%.
The fine microstructure that has been achieved by the stirring effect of the molten metal improves dramatically the mechanical properties. PTC process significantly increases the amount of high quality metal in the ingot top part.

The PTC process can be applied on any type of ferrous.
The PTC is add on technology and can be integrated on any casting line.
