Design and Implementation of High-Performance Submerged-Entry Nozzle Designs for Thin-Slab Casters

Thin-slab casters, first introduced by SMS group as Compact Strip Production (CSP), have specific requirements for a submerged-entry nozzle (SEN). These casters are often characterized by relatively thin cross-sections, a funnel shape, high casting speeds and a curved mold. Modern steel shops are constantly pushing the envelope to achieve long production times on an SEN. As such the designs, material combinations and the associated production of SENs play a critical role in achieving the performance demanded by such casters. This article details the development and implementation of such designs through material development and study of designs using modeling techniques. Particular references are provided to the successful implementation of one such SEN at Nucor Steel•Indiana.
