Continuous casting of steel has become a widely used process and an
important step in steel production. The worldwide share of continuously
cast steel has increased significantly in the last 25 years or so.
However, concurrent with this increase in production levels are stringent
quality requirements that have become crucial in the face of progressively
increasing machine throughputs and larger product dimensions. As a result,
steel cleanliness and strict composition control are now the primary
concern of steelmakers. The tundish is the last metallurgical vessel
through which molten metal flows before solidifying in the continuous
casting mold. During the transfer of metal through the tundish, molten
steel interacts with refractories, slag, and the atmosphere. Thus, the
proper design and operation of a tundish are important for delivering
steel of strict composition and quality. This pioneering book is the first
of its kind to cover all aspects of tundish technology, ranging from
fundamental aspects and theory necessary for understanding the basic
concepts of tundish operations to operational aspects of the tundish.
Written by internationally recognized experts in continuous casting
technology in general and tundish technology in particular, this book is
sufficiently fundamental to serve as a graduate-level textbook on process
metallurgy or as an important reference for metallurgical researchers; at
the same time, it is comprehensive enough to contribute to the
understanding of scientists and engineers engaged in research and
development in the steel industry.
