Numerical simulation and application of argon blowing from tundish cover for bloom continuous casting by Wu C.-H., Li Y., Liu Y-D., Xie X., Wu G.-R., Zhang M.

“…The results indicate that the best conditions for ABTC are to install the argon pipes on either side of the tundish cover holes, seal the baking holes, and keep the stopper rod holes open. The argon flow rate should be ≥120 m3/h during the period of empty tundish and ≥60 m3/h during the period of normal casting. …”
