Abstract:
Tundish metallurgy is essential for continuous steel casting technology. In this study, the subflux flow controller (SFC) installed in the tundish pouring zone was tested, demonstrating the possibility of simultaneously reducing the dimensions of the flow control device (FCD) and effectively influencing the structure of the liquid steel flow. On the basis of computer simulations and water model trials, results were obtained describing the hydrodynamic structure in considered variants of the one strand slab tundish. Considering the influence of the SFC on the steel flow structure in the tundish, and the gradient of the wall shear stress and total pressure on the SFC surface/tundish walls, the most optimal SFC variant for a single-strand wedge-type tundish is SFC No. 2C.
