Inclusion removal study in multistrand tundish with turbostoper

Abstract

In a continuous casting unit, Producing clean cast product without any kind of inclusions is on high demand in current scenario. These contaminations results from either the broken refractory wall or due to chemical reactions inside the ladle and tundish. Present study aims to minimize the inclusion by employing flow control device (FCD) to regulate the fluid flow inside the tundish. It was observed that by using the FCD, inclusion removal tendency is increased remarkably. Most of the inclusion particles were entrapped at the top slag layer of tundish. © 2018 IEEE.
