Abstract
The relevance of the new casting mould configuration usage for reducing ferroalloy fines formation is conditioned by increasing efficiency and environmental sustainability in the metallurgical industry, where waste reduction and resource conservation are of high interest. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of a new casting mould configuration on the ferroalloy smelting process to determine its potential to reduce the ferroalloy fines formation and increase the efficiency of metallurgical production. The methods used include analytical method, classification, functional method, statistical method, synthesis, etc. As part of the study, industrial tests of cellular casting moulds were carried out at the Aksu Ferroalloy Plant, a branch of “TNC Kazchrome” JSC, in order to optimise the casting process of various ferroalloys. This research included a detailed comparative analysis of the substandard fines formation process during casting using moulds of various configurations. The study results revealed the optimal casting mould configuration, which can significantly reduce the formation of substandard fines during ferroalloy casting. This is a significant achievement of key importance for the metallurgical industry, as it reduces material losses and increases production efficiency. Thus, the study confirms that the introduction of a new casting mould configuration can optimise production processes in the metallurgical industry. The data and conclusions obtained in this study can be applied in the metallurgical industry to optimise processes and reduce losses, thereby improving economic efficiency and reducing negative environmental impact.
