1. Introduction
In modern continuous casting operations, the tundish nozzle plays a crucial role in regulating molten steel flow from the tundish into the Submerged Entry Nozzle (SEN) or...
In continuous casting operations, the ladle shroud is a critical refractory component used to protect molten steel from atmospheric reoxidation as it flows from the ladle to the tundish....
Monoblock stopper rod, also known as a monoblock stopper or simply a stopper rod, is a refractory device used in steelmaking to control the flow of molten steel from the ladle to the tundish...
The continuous casting process is a marvel of industrial efficiency, transforming molten steel into various shapes at an impressive rate. But behind the scenes, a crucial yet often unheralded...
The Submerged Entry Nozzle (used for the nozzle between the tundish and the mold), the long nozzle (used for the nozzle between the ladle and the tundish) and the sliding nozzle are called the...
Slide Gate Plate is a kind of slide gate refractory that is designed to control the flow of molten steel during steel making. This performance of this refractory is dependent upon the ability to...
The slide-gate plates in a cassette assembly control the steel flow through the tundish nozzle, and may experience through-thickness cracks, caused by thermal expansion and/or mechanical...
Slide Gate Refractory are used in ladle for controlling the liquid steel flow from Ladle to Tundish. These are special refractories and also should be handled with care. Failure in this may lead...
Operators often see cracks and damage in ladle shrouds, long nozzles, and refractory parts. This happens because of a few main reasons:
Fast temperature changes can cause thermal shock and...
