Abstract :Different parameters can be used together in the continuous casting process known as an important steel production stage in the world. It is important to use metallurgical appropriate parameters to meet the product properties. Many innovations have been made in the continuous casting process from past to present. It is known that studies are carried out on many effective topics such as steel analysis, refractory materials, continuous casting parameters, in order to make the proper solidification that will meet the needs with its continuous casting capabilities. When continuous casting parameters are examined; the casting speed parameter was found to be effective in terms of quality needs in macro samples. Therefore, in this study, the effect of the increase of casting speed parameters on the quality of macro samples was investigated. As a method; in high carbon, micro-alloyed DIN EN ISO 16120-2: 2011-C66D quality steels, in different castings, this parameter was changed and macro samples were taken and evaluated in terms of quality needs. When macro sample quality results are compared; the effect of casting speed was observed. In this study; the effect of the increase in casting speed in continuous billet casting facility on optimum metallographic and physical quality has been investigated and the results have been interpretedKeywords : Iron steel, steel production, continuous casting, casting speed
