In this project, qoncept provided consulting services for the conceptual and basic engineering of a complete ingot casting area. The scope included the development of a layout sketch from both technological and mechanical perspectives, a detailed process description, and a technical specification for the required equipment. In addition, a functional outline for the digitalization of the ingot casting process was prepared to support future automation and system integration activities. The deliverables served as a foundation for subsequent engineering and investment planning.
For this project, qoncept developed a structured logic to calculate the temperature-dependent thermophysical properties of steel grades. The tool, which was based on regression models, covered key parameters such as heat capacity, thermal conductivity, density, and latent heat. Two steel categories were included: low-alloyed and stainless. The tool was then extended to cover broader alloy ranges. The implementation included a microsegregation-based method to estimate solidus and liquidus temperatures. This solution allows users to evaluate steel grades more effectively and improve the solidification calculations of continuous and ingot casting processes.
