The Fluidity of Cast Steel

Abstract

The fluidity of cast steel is considered from both the theoretical and the practical viewpoint. Various types of tests are studied with an object of using the fluidity test at the furnace to indicate steel fluidity before the steel is tapped. Methods of recording fluidity on the pouring floor are also considered. A test is devised for indicating correct tapping conditions at the furnace. Recommendations are given for further work.
