Abstract

In the continuous casting process, the flow pattern of molten steel in the mold is critical to produce high quality steel. It is therefore important to develop methods to prevent alumina clogging. The use of special anti-clogging materials in the bore and ports of the SEN is now commonly used to reduce deposition. A recent development is the advanced venturi nozzle that can produce uniform flow of steel in the SEN bore and ports and prevent alumina deposition generated by biased flow. Combining the venturi nozzle design with anti-clogging materials has given good results in clogging reduction, with resulting improved steel quality.
