ABSTRACT
Crop losses after edging can be reduced by preventing the formation of non-rectangular shapes of the slab ends known as fish tail or tongue. Some of the methods that have been proposed and successfully implemented to solve this problem are as follows [1]:
Utilization of convex crown slabs - According to this method, the convex crown slabs are produced with a continuous caster. When these slabs are rolled with horizontal flat rolls, the effect of slab center elongation is achieved thus reducing the fish tail.
