AN IMPROVED WEDGE SHAPE SINGLE-STRAND TUNDISH IN A CONTINUOUS METAL CASTING PROCESS

摘要

A single strand wedge shape tundish to receive molten metal from a ladle at an inlet and discharge to a mould through an outlet for solidification in a continuous casting process, the tundish having a well block at the bottom near the outlet, and a flow-control device, characterized in that the bath height of the tundish is configured at a value not more than 1.23 meters for casting at a maximum throughput of 3.5 ton/minute, and in that the length and width is maintained at 4.0 meters and 0.67 meters respectively.
