Containment Materials For Thin-Strip Casting Of Steel, Abhishek Kumar

Doctoral Dissertations

"The focus of this research was to investigate the corrosion behavior of BN-based and ZrO2-C refractories by molten steel. These refractories are used as side-dam and core-nozzle in the thin-strip casting of steel. The improvement and development of these refractory components will increase the process efficiency by prolonging the refractory service life.

The first part of this study focused on interaction of BN-ZrO2-SiC side-dams with steel-inclusion system in a laboratory setup under argon gas environment. It was observed that corrosion of this ceramic was severe in contact with steel compared to slag/inclusion.

The second part of …
