Gli acciai per bramme interessati dalla trasformazione peritettica, durante la solidificazione in colata continua, possono risentire della comparsa del difetto di cricca trasversale. Tale difettosità si manifesta attraverso l'apparizione sulle bramme di numerose fessurazioni superficiali tra loro parallele e comporta notevoli costi di scarto e rilavorazione degli slebi. Il lavoro qui descritto ha avuto come scopo il miglioramento delle pratiche operative di colata continua al fine di eradicare la difettosità da cricca trasversale dagli slebi prodotti. Una descrizione approfondita delle procedure operative di colata continua è riportata nella prima sezione del lavoro, in cui sono altresì descritte le indicazioni tratte dalla letteratura in riferimento al fenomeno analizzato. La seconda parte dello studio ha affrontato l'analisi dei dati raccolti e la determinazione delle tipologie d'acciaio più colpite dal difetto di cricca trasversale. Nel terzo capitolo sono illustrati i risultati emersi in relazione agli effetti indotti sul difetto dai fattori specifici inerenti la composizione chimica dell'acciaio in colaggio ed i parametri di colata. A valle di quanto illustrato è riportata la determinazione delle condizioni operative più adeguate per i parametri studiati e vengono descritti gli effetti benefici riscontrati dalla loro applicazione in produzione. La raccolta e l'analisi metallografica di alcuni campioni prelevati da bramma colpita da cricche trasversali hanno concluso il lavoro e fornito ulteriori riscontri ai risultati emersi dalle analisi svolte. Tutto lo studio condotto si è basato sull'analisi dei dati di 93188 slebi estratti dai database dell'acciaieria 1 dello stabilimento ILVA di Taranto. Le bramme studiate sono caratterizzate da spessori di 240 mm, larghezze comprese tra i 1480 mm e 2170 mm e lunghezza racchiusa tra i 4,5 m e i 13 m. Si ritiene doveroso rilevare come, a differenza di quanto fatto nel presente lavoro, lo studio delle cricche trasversali risulta raramente basato su dati provenienti direttamente dagli impianti di colata continua. Inoltre in riferimento alla tipologia di fattori analizzati, al numero ed al formato delle bramme coinvolte il presente studio può considerarsi il primo del genere a livello nazionale ed internazionale.

Abstract
The steel slabs produced included in the peritectic transformation during solidification in continuous casting, may be affected by the defect of transverse cracks. This defect is manifested by the appearance of numerous cracks on the slab surface parallel to each other and involves considerable costs of scrap and rework of slabs. The work described here has been aimed at improving the operational practices of continuous casting in order to eradicate the defect from the transverse crack from slabs produced in continuous casting. A thorough description of the operational procedures for the continuous casting is shown in the first section of the work, in which are also described the directions taken from the literature with reference to the phenomenon analyzed. The second part of the study dealt with the analysis of the collected data and the determination of the types of steel most affected by cracks. In the third chapter are shown the results obtained in the study on the relation between the formation of transverse cracks and specific factors such as the chemical composition of slabs and some parameters of casting . Downstream is given the determination of the operating conditions more suitable for the parameters studied and the description of the beneficial effects observed by their application in production. Collection and metallographic analysis of some samples from slab hit by transverse cracks have concluded the work and provided further evidence to the results of the analyzes carried out.
