HJN
CRM Group has developed a multi-purpose breakthrough casting technology which is currently under industrial implementation: the HJN (Hollow Jet Nozzle). It enables closely controlling the structure of the metallic product, and more precisely allows:
- Reduction of central segregation
- Refinement of the solidification structure
- Modification of the steel composition during casting sequence
- Improvement of addition yields for easily oxidable elements
- Casting new steel grades such as composite steels with addition on exogeneous particles or innovative steels with variable properties along product thickness
