Continuous Casting
Tundish Refractory Materials
Lining materials for continuous casting tundishes, built for stable heat flow and clean steel production. Supplied by Zhengzhou Zhongqi Refractory Materials Co., Ltd.
Tundish Lining
Working, Permanent and Insulation Layers
Tundish refractory materials are installed as a three-part lining: a working layer facing the molten steel, a permanent layer behind it, and an insulation layer that limits heat loss to the shell. Dry vibratable ramming masses are compacted in place around the tundish body, so no firing is required before the first heat.
- Working layer, permanent layer and insulation layer supplied as one lining system
- Silica dry vibratable ramming mass for small and medium tundishes
- Magnesia dry vibratable mass for large tundishes and long casting sequences

Working Practice
Placement and Compaction
Dry vibratable masses are rammed between the tundish shell and the working-layer form, layer by layer, with a vibrator applied to each lift. A complete lining takes roughly two hours, which keeps tundish changes inside the casting schedule and limits tundish downtime.
Material selection follows the casting conditions: silica ramming mass suits small and medium tundishes, while magnesia dry vibratable mass is chosen for large tundishes and extended casting sequences where longer working-layer life is required.
