Slide Gate Plate, Nozzle Bricks, Plugs, Quartz Protective Tubes For Continuous Casting

Jun 24, 2026

In the precision process of continuous steel casting, key functional refractory materials such as sliding plates, nozzle bricks, plug rods, and quartz protective tubes together constitute the core system for controlling the flow of molten steel -1.

The slide gate plate is the core component of the sliding nozzle, which needs to withstand the thermal shock of molten steel above 1600 ° C and the mechanical wear of frequent opening and closing -5-. The water outlet brick (including upper and lower water outlets) needs to have excellent thermal shock stability and corrosion resistance when facing high-temperature molten steel erosion. The integral plug rod is vertically installed in the intermediate package, and the flow rate of molten steel is precisely controlled by lifting and lowering. Some parts also have argon blowing purification function-18-. The quartz protective tube (fused silica) has small thermal expansion coefficient and good thermal shock resistance. It is mainly used to protect the steel flow between the ladle and tundish.

Skateboards and nozzle bricks are often made of materials such as aluminum charcoal and aluminum zirconium charcoal, while the plug rod head is made of Al ₂ O ∝ - C or MgO-C material-17 according to the steel grade. The quartz protective tube is suitable for various working conditions due to its excellent thermal shock resistance. They are widely used in various stages of ladle, intermediate ladle and crystallizer, and are key barriers to ensure smooth continuous casting and steel quality
