  • About author:Tian Chen, Ph. D, graduated from Northeastern University in 2023. Then he continued to work as a postdoctor in the School of Metallurgy at Northeastern University. His research interests cover the optimization of continuous casting process and the service efficiency of refractory materials. At present, he has published more than 20 research papers in international journals.

Abstract: In view of the service failure and low continuous casting production efficiency due to the corrosion of refractories at the slag-line in submerged entry nozzles, a submerged entry nozzle for low-carbon aluminum killed steel continuous casting in one steel plant was sampled and taken as the research object to analyze the causes and the mechanism of refractory corrosion at the slag-line. The results show that the core issue of the corrosion and necking of the slag-line materials is that the slag-line material are eroded, dissolved, and reacted by the mold flux gradually. Therefore, it is important to suppress or avoid the contact and reaction between the mold flux and slag-line materials.

Key words: continuous casting, submerged entry nozzle, slag-line, slag corrosion resistance
