Zirconia Ceramic Parts For High-temperature melt flow control in Iron and steel smelting
High-temperature zirconia materials, due to their comprehensive “thermal shock resistance,” “corrosion resistance,” “high-temperature strength” and “erosion resistance,” have become key materials for ensuring the safe, efficient, and continuous operation of modern steel continuous casting processes. In particular, their application in core components such as continuous casting nozzles, which control the flow of high-temperature melt, brings benefits such as improved production stability, reduced accident rates, and improved product quality. Below are some product examples: 1.Sizing Nozzle: A sizing nozzle is a high-temperature structural ceramic functional device installed at the bottom of the continuous casting tundish. Its main function is to maintain a relatively constant static pressure of molten steel in the tundish. Molten steel flows into the crystallizer via the sizing nozzle. The crystallizer uses high-flow-rate water cooling to remove the heat released dur...
