We consider the refractory equipment of section continuous billet-casting machines (CBCM) of the following system: tundish ladle (TL)–submerged nozzle (SN)–crystallizer, and analyze the processes of control over the metal flows in this system. We indicate the specific features of the structure of elements of section CBCM responsible for the rational transportation of the poured metal in the TL–SN–crystallizer system and the efficient formation of steel flows in the crystallizer and creating conditions for the enhancement of the quality of metal.
