Improved tundish refining of steel in continuous-casting machines

  • Published:
Steel in Translation Aims and scope

Abstract

The influence of the structure of the tundish on the hydrodynamics of the melt flux is investigated on physical models and in industrial conditions. The influence of design modifications in the tundish on the refining of the steel is analyzed. Factors that affect tundish operation include the injection conditions, the tundish capacity, and the melt level.
