Abstract

Obtaining high quality steels mainly depends on the quantity of non-metallic inclusions contained into it and this, in turn, to a large extent on the structure of the flow in the tundish. Optimization of the flow of liquid steel through the tundish makes it possible to control the trajectory of inclusions and thereby to improve the conditions of their outflow into the slag layer. The following article presents an analysis of research opportunities of the inclusions distribution and removing process from the steel flowing through the tundish, resulting in reconstruction of the own research facility.

Keywords
