Much researches on the operation and structure of tundish were carried out at Xiangtan Iron and Steel Co Ltd to increase the yield of grade 20 carbon steel on the continuous casting production line. Through analyzing formation mechanism of pinholes and non-metallic inclusions in billets and describing pattern of the flow of molten steel in tundish by a mathematic model, it was shown that the structure and operation of tundishes play an important part in product quality. So some measures were taken as follows: (1) Optimizing the tundish construction to decrease the impact of liquid steel and lengthening the residence time of liquid steel for homogenization of liquid steel; (2) Improving the influent and effluent operation of liquid steel to avoid the contact of liquid steel with air in order to decrease reoxidation; (3) Reducing over heat during continuous casting. After above measures being taken, the yield of grade 20 carbon steel and the service life of equipment were improved remarkably.
