initial solidification(During continuous casting, the copper mold plates control the shape and initial solidification of the steel product. 连铸期间，结晶器铜板控制着钢铸坯的形状和初始凝固。)
initial silicon content(Silicon in hot metal has a strong effect on dephosphorization and this is shown in Fig3-5 from which it can be seen that the slope of the line connecting the initial and final phosphorus in hot metal, increases as the initial silicon content decreases. 铁水含硅量对脱磷有重要影响，由图 3-5 可以看出：铁水含磷量起点和终点连线的斜率随初始含硅量的降低而增加。)
slab yard(Slabs are then hot charged into the reheat furnace or they can be taken off line and placed in a slab yard on the west side of the caster. 然后将板坯热装进加热炉，或者也可以运离生产线放人连铸机西侧的板坯库。)
slabbing and blooming mill(The existing slabbing and blooming mill, which currently supplies a seamless tube plant with tube rounds, will be replaced by an electric arc furnace and a continuous slab/ bloom caster. 目前正向一家无缝钢管厂提供圆管坯的这台板坯-方坯初轧机将被一座电弧炉和一台板坯/大方坯兼用型连铸机所取代。)
