Innovative tundish management for final steel thermal and chemical adjustment

Objective

The research aim is to found possible/feasible actions on tundish casting for thermal/chemical adjustments:
- thermal heating via chemical reactions at bath-insulating powder interface;
- steel composition adjustment where mixing conditions are favourable;

As a matter of fact, typical drawbacks when performing in ladle these metallurgy operations are:
- time lag before tapping can increase bath re-oxidation affecting steel cleanliness;
- alloying elements re-oxidised, are lost in inclusions with failure of target composition.

The work, carried out by CSM (Co-ordinator), CAS, BFI and KEP, is supported by modelling tools (CFD /physical), laboratory tests and operational plant trials on carbon and stainless steels.
