Advantages:

  1. Reduced Cost
  2. Improved Quality [ Less variability in chemical composition both along the thickness and along the length and surface has fewer defects ]
  3. Increased Yield [ Since it is not necessary to crop the ends of continuously cast slabs ]
  4. Reduced Energy costs [ The slabs are sent directly to hot rolling and do not require pits for reheating and also the thickness of continuously cast slabs is half the thickness of ingot castings and thus require lower energy for hot rolling ]
  5. Less pollution

Also the dimensions produced in continuous castings is more amenable for hot rolling. In ingot castings, the ladle is to be moved with crane for filling the molds below but here the ladle has to move short distance i.e. only over the tundish and not over each and every mould.

Difference between forging and casting?

Castings will have advantage over forg-ings for three conditions is met:a unique metal composition is required;the part is relatively large or complex;stresses may be multi-axial.castings: metal that has been melted, poured into a mold and solidified. In the casting process at the foundry, because the mold has the shape of the desired component, all that remains to be done after casting are the various finishing operations.forgings, the first shape is an ingot or continuously cast billet. Ingots are large, usually rectangular in form and weigh up to several tons. Ingots or continuously cast billets are forged into shapes by hammers or presses. Extensive machining to final configuration usually is required, and welding also may be necessary before finishing operations can begin.

What is the advantage of gravity die casting over high pressure die casting?

The tooling for gravity casting costs less than pressure die casting but the part cost in pressure die casting is much less. see Sand Casting. Die Casting: In the high pressure, requires a die casting machine to inject molten liquid or semi-liquid metal to a higher rate of die-casting mold cavity filling and solidification under pressure, forming and casting methods obtained. Gravity Casting: Uses the gravity or weight of the metal to fill the cavity producing a metal part. It does not require the use of an expensive die casting machine. The tooling cost is lesser for gravity casting because of the lower pressures needed to produce parts.


What Would be the Advantage Of Continuous Wave Doppler Over pulsed Doppler?

Continuous wave Doppler allows for measurement of high velocities because it does not have a limit on the range of velocities it can detect compared to pulsed Doppler which has a limited range. Continuous wave Doppler is also able to detect continuous flow patterns whereas pulsed Doppler can only sample at specific points.


What would be an advantage of continuous wave Doppler over pulsed Doppler?

Continuous wave Doppler has a higher velocity range compared to pulsed Doppler, making it ideal for assessing high-velocity flow such as in stenotic lesions. Continuous wave Doppler also provides continuous data throughout the cardiac cycle without aliasing, offering a more comprehensive assessment of blood flow dynamics.
