Abstract

Additional manufacturing facilities of foundry shops appear in conjunction with expansion of continuous cast billet production. However, the absence of equipment necessary for shaped casting production determines their low competitiveness as compared to foundry shops of mechanical-engineering enterprises. One of alternative methods of foundry shops reorientation is adoption of roll and roller manufacture for continuous-casting machines using own resources.
