[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1873673, member: 113501"] The how it gets out of the crucible and in to a bar is what I would call extrusion but they seem to call it "continuous casting" where it flows out of a nozzle at the bottom of the crucible, is immediately bent 90° and then hot formed to the desired shape. That's very different from the more common meaning of casting associated with sand casting, die casting and investment casting. I am disappointed that the steel industry used that term so poorly because the steel never takes on the properties of a casting and as I said, it is hot formed before it solidifies. So stop telling people barrel steel was cast, if it isn't an outright lie, it's a technicality. Here is a video of Bohler Udeholm which makes barrel steel: [MEDIA=youtube]brGj7f_du_g[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
