Abstract

Inclusion and grade intermixing create huge metal loss during single Strand slab casting. In the present investigation a multi reactor tundish with argon purging and a Novel Filter tundish has been proposed to remove high level inclusions and reduce grade intermixing during slab casting. 

Keywords: Novel filter tundish, muti reactor tundish with argon purging
