SUMMARY:Improvements in casting yield and steel cleanliness through the implementation of tundish inertization
DESCRIPTION:Steel reoxidation during tundish filling represents a significative casting yield loss because the first casted billets are scraped in order to guarantee the product’s internal cleanliness. The present work shows the implementation of Tundish Inertization with argon during the start of casting of round billets in a seamless pipe producer. Several trials were conducted to define the optimal operational and process setups for a Delta-T shape 40ton tundish. The steel inertization capacity was validated through the evaluation of macro, meso and micro cleanliness in the final product. The avoided scrap signalizes expressive yield improvements and savings for the definitive installation, which is being industrialized.
