Abstract
The objective of this paper is to review the defects found in vertical continuous casting process. Remedies and Causes for shrinkage and porosity defects are discussed that would help to improve the quality of casting product. It found parameters effect the casting quality are casting speed , cooling speed , casting temperature, high extraction speed, secondary cooling zones, water flow rate, oscillation frequency Material flow analysis can be done in CFD that helps to detect shrinkage and porosity defect. The remedies that are discussed below help to reduce rejection rate
