Problems and solutions in the use of submerged entry nozzle

After summarizing the actual operating experience, the main reasons for the problems in the use of the submerged entry nozzle and the solutions were found. Specifically in: 1) Fracture before or during the process of pouring steel at the nozzle. The submerged entry nozzle is about 1 meter long but only fixed by the upper part, so it is mechanically damaged during transportation, hard objects collide with the nozzle during installation, unstable or falling too fast when lifting the intermediate tank, and the impact on the nozzle during the pouring process causes the root fracture. In order to prevent the nozzle from breaking, mechanical collision should be avoided as much as possible during transportation and installation, and the problem should be stopped in time, and a layer of rubber pad should be placed on the intermediate tank seat frame to make the crane take off and land smoothly. 2) The slag line is eroded too quickly.
