Refractories Aims and scope

Conclusions

High-alumina, zircon, chamotte-kaolin, zirconia, and clay-graphite end nozzles were tested in a semi-continuous casting plant during the pouring of stainless steel in the pouring device, and SP-25 high-alumina and zircon nozzles were tested in the intermediate ladle.

For use we recommend the high-alumina nozzles which are considerably cheaper than the zirconia ones.

Zircon and high-alumina SP-25 nozzles do not erode when steel is poured from the intermediate ladle, they do not close up and can provide a stream of metal without splatter.
