The tundish is a device for transferring molten steel between the ladle and the crystallizer. The main tasks of the tundish are: (1) diverting molten steel. For multi-strand continuous casting machines, the molten steel is distributed to each crystallizer through the tundish; (2) stabilizing the flow. Reducing the static pressure of the molten steel, maintaining …
