Enhanced Inclusion Separation:

• The invention focuses on improving the separation of non-metallic inclusions (NMIs) from molten steel, particularly targeting smaller impurities (<50 µm) for better steel quality.

Unique Tundish Design:

• It introduces a novel tundish design featuring a recirculating region, a contoured neck region, and a reservoir region, optimizing the flow dynamics to achieve superior inclusion separation.

Gradual Flow Expansion:

• The contoured bottom wall of the neck region facilitates a gradual expansion of molten metal, reducing velocity and enhancing the effectiveness of inclusion removal.

Application Versatility:

• The design can be tailored for various steel production configurations, offering adaptability for single or multiple strands, thereby accommodating diverse industrial needs.

Significant Efficiency Gains:

• Compared to traditional tundish designs, this invention promises a substantial increase in inclusion separation efficiency, contributing to the production of cleaner and higher-quality steel.
