近纯尺寸连铸技术开始于八十年代,目前广泛认为在九十年代这一新技术工业化应用趋于成熟,钢铁工业将面临一场技术革命,且在廿一世纪初将会初具规模。 近十年来,欧洲积极致力于近纯尺寸铸造领域实验室规模研究,离完全工业化应用还有一段距离,本文将综述欧洲各国进行近纯尺寸铸造技术研究和开发现状,主要报道意大利、德国、英国、法国、奥地利和瑞典各国的现状。 Near-full-size continuous casting technology began in the 1980s and it is widely believed that the industrialization of this new technology will mature in the 1990s. The steel industry will face a technological revolution and will begin to take shape by the early 2000s. In the past ten years, Europe has actively devoted itself to the laboratory scale research in near-pure-size foundry field and still has some distance from the completely industrialized application. This article reviews the current research and development of nearly pure-size foundry technology in various European countries. The main reports are from Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom , The status of France, Austria and Sweden.
