Abstract
In the continuous casting machine, tundish is a reservoir and a distributor for liquid
steel from the ladle into the molds. It is important to investigate the influence of
covering powder composition on the tundish stopper rod corrosion, i.e., at the slag line.
Therefore, the objective of this work is to investigate the thermodynamic properties of
a Ca-aluminate covering powder, through simulations using computational
thermodynamics as a tool. Using computational thermodynamics, conclusions are
obtained on the behavior of the covering powder during the industrial process since
there are information on nature, amount, and composition of the phases at
steelmaking temperatures. It was concluded that an easy-to-implement solution, in
the industrial context, could be implemented to reduce corrosion of the stopper rod
caused by covering powder.
