Types of tundish and main components of tundish lining
Different types of tundish 1. High temperature tundish The tundish is set up for a specific metallurgical process, the lining is made of magnesia brick, and it is preheated to about 1500°C. 2. Hot tundish That is, a kind of tundish commonly used in steel plants at present, which uses fired bricks or unfired bricks or castables as the lining of the tundish. Before pouring, it should be preheated to 800~1100℃. 3. Cold tundish The insulation board is used as the lining, which can be used without preheating before pouring. As for the choice of which tundish type and which material is better for the lining, it depends on the cast steel, smelting method, baking conditions and the ability of the steel plant itself. The tundish lining is mainly composed of the following parts: (1) Insulation layer (10~30mm) This layer is next to the steel shell of the tundish, and its material is usually asbestos board, insulation brick or lightweight castable. (2) P...
