Abstract

By phase analysis of the clog of nozzle and type analysis of inclusion in 38CrMoAl steel, the effects of calcium treatment on nozzle scabbiness were analyzed and the mechanisms of clogging were discussed. The results indicated that the clogs of nozzle consist of Al₂O₃, MgO• Al₂O₃, CaS and calcium aluminate mixture, Because the inclusion in molten steel with high melting point aggregating in nozzle inner wall. Clogging has been caused by high sulfur content of steel liquid, irrelevant refining slag system and excessive calcium treatment. The nozzle clogging was analyzed and some measures were put forward.
