Casting Nozzle with Alumina Carbon Case Zirconia Insert for Steel Making
Anyang Changtai Silicon Industry Co., Ltd. supplies casting nozzle with alumina carbon case and zirconia insert for steelmaking tundish continuous casting. Multiple ZrO₂ grades optional, anti-erosion, thermal shock resistant, custom drawing machining. Bulk order available, get your quotation.
Products Description

The composite casting nozzle adopts an alumina-carbon outer case matched with inner zirconia insert, a key refractory component for tundish continuous casting in steelmaking. The outer alumina-carbon body delivers outstanding thermal shock resistance and structural strength, while the embedded zirconia insert forms the molten steel flow bore to resist high-speed steel scouring and slag corrosion. This composite structure balances performance and cost, effectively slows bore enlargement, stabilizes casting speed and extends continuous casting sequence. Anyang Changtai Silicon Industry Co., Ltd. supplies full finished composite nozzles, customised according to your casting system and steel grade requirements.

Key Performance Advantages
Composite material design
Outer alumina-carbon shell resists thermal shock; inner zirconia insert focuses on anti-erosion. Better cost efficiency than full zirconia nozzle.
01
Restrain bore expansion
Dense zirconia liner reduces steel and slag wash, maintains steady casting speed for long sequence casting.
02
Strong structural stability
Alumina-carbon body tolerates sharp temperature fluctuation, less crack or spalling during preheating and casting.
03
Tight assembly
Precision ground insert and matched refractory mortar avoid gap, prevent molten steel infiltration between liner and outer case.
04
Low steel contamination
Chemically inert zirconia reduces reaction with molten steel, improves steel cleanliness and reduces inclusion defects.
05
