About The Product

The Continuous Casting 2000 symposium maintains the tradition established in 1976 of holding regular events. This millennium event, however, is the first international meeting of the series. The aim is to highlight the importance of continuous casting - of aluminum, copper and magnesium - to the international fabricating industry, focusing on technological advances in all the sectors that are important for the manufacture of high quality continuous cast products.
