A new system for pouring steel from laddle to the tundish

Objetivo

The proposed project concerns the transfer of the liquid steel from the transport ladle, bringing the liquid steel from the melting shop to the casting shop, into the tundish, which is used as a buffer to dispatch the liquid steel to the strands of a continuous casting installation. The existing technology to control the steel flow and protect the liquid metal from air contact is the result of several historical evolutions in the steelmaking process that were invented and developed separately and reveal now conceptual limitations. The objective of the project is to re-engineer, develop and test a new system to pour liquid steel from the ladle into the tundish that would provide steelmakers with an improved steel quality, a global cost reduction and an improvement of the safety and the working conditions for the workers due to the elimination of the difficult task to change nozzles in a hostile environment.
