Transvalor will participate in the 3rd International Workshop on Surface Quality of Continuously Cast Products (IWSQ-3), organized by AIM and ASMET, taking place on March 12–13, 2026, in Graz, Austria.
This international workshop brings together leading experts from the steel industry, research institutes, and technology providers to discuss the latest advances in improving surface quality in continuous casting processes
Why Attend IWSQ-3?
IWSQ-3 is a key technical event dedicated to one of the most critical challenges in steel production: surface defect prevention and quality control in continuous casting.
The workshop provides a unique platform to:
Surface quality remains a decisive factor for downstream processing efficiency, yield optimization, and overall production costs. Events like IWSQ-3 foster the exchange of practical and scientific knowledge needed to address these challenges.
Meet Us and Discover THERCAST®
At IWSQ-3, Transvalor will highlight THERCAST®, our advanced simulation software dedicated to the modeling of continuous casting processes.
THERCAST® enables manufacturers to:
✔️ Predict thermal behavior and solidification during casting
✔️ Analyze stress development and crack formation risks
✔️ Investigate surface defect mechanisms
✔️ Optimize process parameters to improve product quality
✔️ Reduce costly trial-and-error approaches through virtual testing
By combining advanced finite element modeling with metallurgical expertise, THERCAST® supports steel producers in achieving higher surface quality standards while improving productivity and reducing operational risks.
Driving Innovation in Continuous Casting
As surface quality requirements continue to increase, simulation plays a strategic role in anticipating defects and optimizing casting conditions before issues arise on the shop floor.
Transvalor remains committed to supporting the steel industry with reliable, physics-based simulation tools that enable:
Our participation in IWSQ-3 reflects our dedication to advancing continuous casting technology and strengthening collaboration within the metallurgical community.
