Abstract :
[en] Lingopti project is a First Europe project. It treats semi-continuous casting of copper-nickel alloys ingots. The research, performed in the University of Liège, consists in the optimisation of the mould and the whole casting process of the LBP S.A. company (Chênée – Liège) to obtain better cast products. In fact, cast products sometimes present long oscillation marks (λ ≈ 500mm) and some ingots have many internal cracks. The semi-continuous process consists in the vertical casting of 7m height ingots. The goal is also to test different chemical compositions of the material and to predict what happens on the casting process.
