Abstract

The clogging of the Submerged Entry Nozzle (SEN) duringbillet continuous casting of mid-carbon steel is studied.Clogging materials and inclusions in steel samples taken atladles, tundish and billets are investigated. The total oxygen onthe whole section of the billet is measured. Steel cleanliness atunsteady casting states, including cast start, ladle change, SENchange, cast end, and the special unsteady pouring periodinduced by SEN clogging, are studied. Fluid flow and inclusionmotion and entrapment to SEN surface are also simulated.
