Zirconia Refratech manufactures high-performance zirconia inserts and tundish/composite metering nozzles for tundish gate system components to provide exemplary performance and reduce steel-making costs.


Zirconia Insert Nozzle:

Zirconia insert is made of monoclinic zirconia stabilized with magnesia or calcia by a unique process. Then the powder is wet pressed at optimum pressure, and then the green nozzle is sintered at a high-temperature furnace.

Characteristics: The zirconia insert nozzle have high strength, erosion and corrosion resistance, good thermal shock vibration properties, low diameter expansion rate, and long service life.

Application: The zirconia insert nozzle has its application in continuous casting of tundish billets, blooms, rectangular billets, and small slabs for pouring steel.

Main properties of zirconia insert:
Product Code ZRPL –N-5 ZRPL-N-5.3
General Properties :-
Apparent Porosity 10-12 % 4 – 6 %
Bulk Density (g/cc) 5 - 5.1 5.3 – 5.4
Chemical Analysis (%):-
SiO2 <0.4 <0.4
TiO2 <0.25 <0.25
Fe2O3 <0.06 <0.06
Al2O3 <0.25 <0.25
MgO 2.5-3 2.5-3
ZrO2+HfO2 >95.5 >95.5

Zirconia Tundish Metering Nozzle:

It comprises a zirconia insert (inner zirconia nozzle) and an outer body such as high-grade alumina-carbon. It is manufactured by a unique process of directly pressing the outer body around the zirconia nozzle without using the cement joining, providing no risk of steel leakage between the inner and outer body.

Characteristics: The metering nozzle is designed in such a way to provide controlled and uniform casting speed, long casting sequence time, low diameter expansion rate and resistance to oxygen stranding.

Application: Zirconia tundish metering nozzle is a high-performance nozzle used in the continuous casting of steel billets.

Main properties of alumina-carbon outer body
Product Code ZRPL – AC
Apparent Porosity ≈20%
Bulk Density (g/cc) ≥2.75
Cold crushing strength(MPa) ≥ 45
Chemical Analysis (%):-
Al2O3 ≈80
C 2-3
