Non-Uniform Thermal Transfer of Molten Steel and Its Effect on Inclusion Particles Removal Behavior in Continuous Casting Tundish by Zhixiao Zhang, Tianpeng Qu, Deyong Wang, Xianglong Li, Lei Fan, Xingzhi Zhou

“…While the inlet temperature is lower, the horizontal stream cannot be maintained, resulting in a decrease in the removal rate of inclusions. Increasing the casting speed will increase the velocity of the molten steel in the tundish, make it easier to shorten the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet, and reduce the removal rate of inclusions. …”
