METHOD OF PROTECTING METAL JET WHEN IT IS TAPPED OUT OF STEEL-SMELTING ASSEMBLY

摘要

FIELD: metallurgy. SUBSTANCE: method involves supplying several inert gas jets to metal flow. Inert gas jet is simultaneously fed with its upper layer fed to the zone adjacent to metal flow discharged from steelmaking unit and with its lower layer adjacent to the zone of contact with liquid metal surface in pouring ladle. Total flow rate of inert gas is set in accordance with dependence recited in Specification. EFFECT: improved quality of metal and ingots manufactured from such metal and increased yield.
