DESCRIPTION

High temperature tundish nozzles are an essential component in foundry applications. They are used to control the flow of molten metal from the tundish to the mold, and must withstand extremely high temperatures and corrosive environments.

There are various types of tundish nozzles available in the market, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Some popular options include alumina-based nozzles, zirconia-based nozzles, and silicon carbide nozzles.

Alumina-based nozzles are widely used in foundries due to their excellent thermal shock resistance and chemical stability. They can withstand temperatures up to 1600°C and are suitable for use with all types of molten metals.

Zirconia-based nozzles are known for their high mechanical strength and toughness, making them ideal for applications where there is a risk of nozzle breakage or failure. They can withstand temperatures up to 2000°C and are highly resistant to thermal shock.

Type of Tundish Nozzle Material Max. Service Temperature Thermal Shock Resistance Wear Resistance Chemical Resistance
Alumina-Carbon Tundish Nozzle Alumina and graphite 1700°C Good Excellent Resistant to oxidation, reduction, and chemical attacks from molten steel.
Zirconia Tundish Nozzle Zirconia 2300°C Excellent Good Resistant to corrosion, erosion, and thermal shock.
Magnesia Tundish Nozzle Magnesia 1800°C Excellent Good Resistant to basic and neutral slags, but can be attacked by acidic slags.
Graphite Tundish Nozzle Graphite 3000°C Good Poor Resistant to oxidation and chemical attacks from molten steel, but susceptible to erosion and wear.
