Description

An industrial scale test was performed for the investigation of microstructure changes of zirconia refractory nozzles for molten low carbon unkilled steel casting up to 1600 C. Phase composition and structure of nozzles surface layers were investigated by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersion scanning microscopy analyses, as well. A possible interaction mechanism of zirconia nozzle and of aluminous nozzle-block, respectively, with molten steel was carried out. (orig.)
