Ladle & Tundish Transfer Zones
Stronger protection. Zero interruptions.
Zone Introduction
Molten steel handling must have zero failure tolerance.
Wear at slag line & impact zones shortens life of ladle/tundish shells.
Unplanned failure here = major safety event and production loss.
Process Description
Molten steel flows into ladles, then into tundish.
Surface slag moves during every transfer.
Wear conditions:
- Steel flow → Impact + Erosion
- Slag line → Chemical attack
- High temp cycling → Thermal fatigue
- Shell welds → Stress + Cracking
Any weakness must be reinforced with proper wear materials.
