Ladle and Tandish Nozzles
Ladle and tundish nozzles are refractory components designed to ensure the safe and controlled transfer of molten steel during continuous casting.
The combination of a stabilized zirconia-based inner core and a high-performance outer shell provides high refractoriness, thermal shock resistance, and corrosion resistance. Top and bottom nozzles, hearth bricks, and sliding cover plates can be manufactured to meet various steel production conditions.
KEY FEATURES
- High refractoriness
- Thermal shock and erosion resistance
- Low diameter expansion
- Long service life and high safety
APPLICATIONS
- Tandish ingot and bloom casting
- Casting of rectangular logs and small slabs
- Quick-change nozzle and sliding cover systems
