Technologies for Controlling Flows of Steel and the Development of Refractory Structures for the Tundish of a Four-Strand Continuous Caster

Abstract

This article examines the configuration of elements of the chambers of a tundish on a four-strand continuous caster and aspects of organizing the movement of the flows of steel within the chambers. It is shown that new configurations and structural elements developed for the system that distributes the flows have a significant effect on their parameters and the removal of nonmetallic inclusions. The equipment upgrade ensures efficient formation of the flows and creates the conditions necessary to improve the quality of the cast steel.
