To meet the increasing cleanliness requirements in conticast steel production, innovative solutions must be developed. The tundish, as the final refractory-lined reactor, provides ample space to eliminate inclusions through optimization of the steel flow. The key component of the tundish is the impact pad, which determines the flow pattern of steel and is crucial for tundish metallurgy. To prevent the formation of dead zones and slag eyes around the ladle shroud, optimal steel flow facilitates inclusion removal through reactions at the steel-slag interface while minimizing excessive erosion of the refractory lining. This study compares the standard impact pad with the spherical impact pad using physical modeling, assessing residence time and flow under three different casting speeds. Results demonstrate the enhanced efficacy of the spherical impact pad in achieving desired steel flow characteristics and improved cleanliness in the casting process.
