Resumo
The preheating time of the tundish in continuous casting is a critical factor in the tundish projection process. This process includes the drying and preheating stages of the refractory material. A new technology for projection refractory mass was developed, which eliminates the drying stage, thereby increasing the availability of tundishes to be used. Industrial tests were conducted with tundishes using the test refractory mass, with the drying stage eliminated, achieving a 52% reduction in preheating time. Additionally, there were benefits such as reduced burner gas consumption, lower CO2 emissions, noise reduction, and an improved thermal comfort for the workers.
