Abstract
Transverse corner cracks are among the most common defects in high carbon and high carbon micro-alloyed grade slab casting. Calculation and analysis were done to minimize the negative strip time of mold oscillation, which is responsible for reducing the depth of the oscillation mark formed on the slab surface. The value of negative strip time decreases with an increase in the frequency of mold oscillation. Based on the trial results, it was suggested that the oscillation proportionality be adjusted from 1.2 to either 1.25 or 1.3. This adjustment will reduce the depth of oscillation marks and the tendency to form transverse cracks. The transverse crack on the narrow face of the slab was examined for crack analysis and compositional analysis. Microstructural analysis revealed that the crack has no branching and consists of an iron scale inside it. Furthermore, it is observed that the crack propagates across the allotriomorphic ferrite grains.
期刊介绍：
Transactions of the Indian Institute of Metals publishes original research articles and reviews on ferrous and non-ferrous process metallurgy, structural and functional materials development, physical, chemical and mechanical metallurgy, welding science and technology, metal forming, particulate technologies, surface engineering, characterization of materials, thermodynamics and kinetics, materials modelling and other allied branches of Metallurgy and Materials Engineering.
Transactions of the Indian Institute of Metals also serves as a forum for rapid publication of recent advances in all the branches of Metallurgy and Materials Engineering. The technical content of the journal is scrutinized by the Editorial Board composed of experts from various disciplines of Metallurgy and Materials Engineering. Editorial Advisory Board provides valuable advice on technical matters related to the publication of Transactions.
