Ladle Nozzle

Upper nozzle service life has significant affluence on ladle bottom life, while ladle bottom life directly confines ladle life. RS series upper nozzles adopt the latest matrix optimization technique and closest packing principle, and their service life is significantly longer than competitors. RS upper nozzles character excellent thermal shock stability, prominent oxidization resistance, strong washing resistance, and so on.

Tundish porous upper nozzle

To prevent blockage, traditional tundish upper nozzle and submerged nozzle service life is short. So porous tundish upper nozzle is developed to overcome this shortcoming. According to structure and function, tundish porous upper nozzles are classified into non-fast changing porous upper nozzle and fast changing porous upper nozzle(submerged nozzle can be quickly changed to promise the consistency of casting). Especially porous fast changing upper nozzle can significantly increase tundish life, although the service life of submerged nozzle is relatively low. Currently used slab tundish service life is longer than 10 hours.

Metering nozzle

Metering nozzles mainly adopt insertion method and, are classified into ordinary metering nozzle and quick changing metering nozzle. The main chemical composition of nozzle core is zirconia, so metering nozzle has high refractoriness, good thermal shock resistance, nice corrosion resistance, washing resistance, small nozzle hole enlargement, long service life and so on. Relying on quick change system, multi-lower nozzles can be replaced during tundish casting, so tundish service is prolonged and casting efficiency is improved.
