Nonmetallic inclusions in steel such as oxides, silicates, aluminates, spinels, etc. substantially reduce the quality of metal. They are mainly introduced by the slag formed on the metal surface of a doublestrand plant. It is proposed to separate the slag from the metal using a special perforated tube installed on the refractory pocket block of the ladle bottom and fixed with gunning mix. The use of this device for continuous slab casting ensures the high quality of hot- and cold-rolled sheets.
