This article relates the experiences of the Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Combine and the Pervouralsk New Tube Plant in mastering the operation of continuous section casters. It examines how the startup of the strands is affected by the geometries of the submersible nozzle, the metering nozzle, and adjustments made to the process parameters. Recommendations are given to make the section caster more reliable during startup and casting.
