The development of continuous casting to produce semi-finished products is now so far advanced that almost any grade of steel can be continuously cast, and in the most appropriate cross section for further shaping. High quality finished products can only be produced by using defect free billet. The removal of defects is either performed selectively by removing the specific defect. Our Project is based on industrial research, refers to the possibility of defining and cataloguing the surface defects specific to the semi-finished products continuously cast, in order to discover the generating source and to take the proper measures to prevent and remedy them where appropriate. We studied the various processes in the industry and done a project to improve the quality of billets, and thereby reducing the major loss of the company. The main problem faced by the industry is the defects caused during casting of the billets. The defectives can only be re-used as scrap, which is the major loss of the industry. Root causes of these defects and solutions recommended are analysed for each case. We suggested a field mixing technology for the mixing of molten metal in correct proportion so that it reduces about 75% of its defects. Also we suggested other methods to improve the quality of billets.
