Abstract:
Disclosed is a flow-controllable tundish structure capable of filtering inclusions in molten steel. The tundish structure comprises a tundish (1), the tundish being divided into three separated cavities which comprise an impact zone cavity (1a) in the middle and pouring zone cavities (1b) at two sides thereof. A long nozzle (2) for pouring is vertically arranged in the center of the impact zone cavity, and molten steel flows down out of the long nozzle for pouring and is injected into the impact zone cavity; and a turbulence suppressor (3) directly facing the long nozzle for pouring is arranged on the cavity bottom under the long nozzle for pouring, and the molten steel flowing down out of the long nozzle for pouring impacts on the turbulence suppressor and is then buffered and mixed. Filter assemblies (A) are respectively arranged between the impact zone cavity and the pouring zone cavities at the two sides, and the buffered and mixed molten steel in the impact zone cavity is filtered by the filter assemblies and is then delivered into the pouring zone cavities at the two sides. Discharge ports (4) are respectively arranged in the bottom of the pouring zone cavities, and the molten steel filtered by the filter assemblies flows into the pouring zone cavities and then flows out from the discharge ports. The flow-controllable tundish structure has the advantages of a simple structure, easy building and lower cost, and has a good liquid steel purification effect.
