Design and Methods for the Numerical Analyses of the Refractory Equipment of Tundish Ladle of a Continuous Casting Machine

Аннотация

We consider various types of design of the refractory equipment for the chambers of tundish ladles of continuous casting machines (CCM). The improvement of the equipment guarantees the efficient formation of metal flows and creates conditions for the improvement of its quality. We estimate the serviceability of partitions and baffles existing for the tundish ladles of CCM: their strength, the absence of cavitation, and the condition according to which the velocity of steel on the metal – slag interface must be lower than the permissible velocity.
