Designing Refractories for the Tundish of a Continuous Caster

  • REFRACTORIES IN HEATING UNITS
  • Published:
Refractories and Industrial Ceramics Aims and scope

The equipment installed in the chambers of a continuous-caster tundish is examined. An improvement made to this equipment is ensuring the efficient formation of flows of metal in the tundish and creating the conditions necessary for improving the quality of the cast metal.
