Slide Gate Plate is a critical component in the continuous casting process, used to control the flow of molten steel from the ladle or tundish to the crystallizer. The following is a detailed description:
Role and Function
- Flow Control: The sliding gate plate adjusts the opening size of the nozzle through the sliding mechanism, thereby controlling the flow of molten steel. This is very important for maintaining a constant and controllable casting process.
- Operational Flexibility: The sliding gate plate allows operators to adjust the molten steel flow rate as needed during the casting process to adapt to different production requirements and conditions.
- Emergency Stop: In an emergency, the sliding gate plate can completely close the flow channel and stop the flow of molten steel, thereby preventing accidents and losses.
Slide gate plate for Converter
The slide gate plate is made of sintered corundum, fused corundum, fused zirconium corundum, zirconium mullite and other main raw materials. It is combined with new resin, formed by high pressure and fired at high temperature. It has the advantages of high strength, super hard, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, and strong thermal stability.
