Description

Continuous casting method of steel
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a continuous casting method for continuously casting molten steel to which aluminum (Al) is not added, silicon (Si) is deoxidized, and calcium (Ca) is added.
Background
In the continuous casting process of molten steel, molten steel in a ladle is poured into a mold while the amount of molten steel in the tundish is kept substantially constant while molten steel in the ladle is poured into the tundish. As a means for controlling the amount of molten steel poured into a tundish from a ladle and a means for controlling the amount of molten steel poured into a mold from a tundish, a sliding nozzle is used for the ladle and the tundish. In the ladle, a sliding nozzle is provided at a molten steel outlet of the ladle, and a 2-piece or 3-piece sliding nozzle plate is disposed between an upper nozzle and a lower nozzle. In addition, in the tundish, the sliding nozzle is arranged at the molten steel outflow port at the bottom of the tundish, and 2 or 3 sliding nozzle plates are arranged between the upper nozzle and the dipping nozzle.
The sliding nozzle plates are provided with outflow holes penetrating the upper and lower surfaces of each sliding nozzle plate, and molten steel flows down from the inside of the outflow holes. In a 2-piece sliding nozzle having a 2-piece sliding nozzle plate, the upper sliding nozzle plate is usually fixed, and the lower sliding nozzle plate is brought into close contact with the fixed upper sliding nozzle plate and moved (slid) to adjust the opening area of each of the outflow holes after overlapping, thereby controlling the injection amount of molten steel flowing down from the outflow holes. In a 3-piece sliding nozzle having a 3-piece sliding nozzle plate, the upper and lower sliding nozzle plates are usually fixed, and the injection amount of molten steel is controlled by moving the intermediate sliding nozzle plate in close contact with the fixed upper and lower sliding nozzle plates to adjust the opening area of each of the outflow holes after overlapping each other.
As a refractory material for a sliding nozzle plate of a ladle or a tundish, alumina (Al) having excellent thermal shock resistance and low raw material cost is widely used 2 O 3 ) -a carbon (C) -based refractory, magnesia (MgO) -based refractory. As described later, the materials of the sliding nozzle plates of the ladle and the tundish are selected according to the composition (steel grade) of the molten steel to be continuously cast, and a sliding nozzle plate having the same main component is generally used for the ladle and the tundish. That is, if the sliding nozzle plate of the ladle is alumina-carbonaceous, the sliding nozzle plate of the tundish is also alumina-carbonaceous, and if the sliding nozzle plate of the ladle is magnesia-carbonaceous, the sliding nozzle plate of the tundish is also magnesia-a carbonaceous sliding nozzle plate.
However, in some steel grades, refining (calcium adding treatment) of adding a ca—si alloy to molten steel so that a predetermined amount of calcium is contained in the molten steel may be performed for the purpose of controlling the morphology of nonmetallic inclusions (hereinafter also simply referred to as "inclusions") in the steel. In addition, as a method of deoxidizing molten steel, aluminum-based deoxidization (aluminum-killed treatment) is a main method, but some steel grades such as silicon steel are deoxidized (killed treatment) by only deoxidizing elements other than aluminum such as silicon without adding aluminum.
When Ca-Si alloy is added to an aluminum killed steel, the inclusion in the molten steel produced at this time is mostly CaO-SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 In the case of adding Ca-Si alloy to a steel grade which has been subjected to silicon-killed treatment without adding aluminum, on the other hand, the inclusions in the molten steel produced at this time are mostly CaO-SiO 2 The composition of the system.
In continuous casting, when molten steel passes through the outflow hole of the sliding nozzle plate of the ladle or the tundish, a part of inclusions in the molten steel adhere to the inner surface of the outflow hole of the sliding nozzle plate. In the case where the sliding nozzle plate is made of a material containing alumina as a main component, such as the alumina-carbonaceous refractory, caO-SiO is produced by the calcium addition treatment 2 -Al 2 O 3 Inclusion of CaO-SiO system 2 The inclusions adhere to the inner surface of the outflow hole of the sliding nozzle plate, and the inclusions adhere to Al in the sliding nozzle plate 2 O 3 A low melting point compound is formed, and melting loss of the sliding nozzle plate occurs. Due to the deterioration of the durability of the sliding nozzle plate caused by the melting loss of the sliding nozzle plate, there are cases where an operation failure such as a reduction in the number of continuous-continuous casting (hereinafter referred to as "continuous-casting" continuous casting) or a leak from the sliding nozzle plate occurs.
In view of such problems, it is known to use a sliding nozzle plate mainly composed of magnesia with high melting loss resistance in continuous casting of steel to which calcium is added. The main problem of sliding nozzle plates based on magnesite is burst resistance, and many efforts have been made to solve this problem.
For example, patent document 1 proposes a sliding nozzle plate refractory in which magnesia (MgO) -spinel (MgAl 2 O 4 ) In the carbon (C) sliding nozzle plate, when the content of magnesia, spinel and carbon is set to 100 mass parts, the magnesia is 27 to 88 mass percent, the spinel is 10 to 62 mass percent, the carbon is 2 to 8 mass percent, and the particle size of 0.3 to 4mm is 22 to 73 mass percent relative to the 100 mass percent, wherein the magnesia raw material is 0 to 63 mass percent, and the spinel raw material is 0 to 65 mass percent; the particle size of less than 0.3mm is 27 to 78 mass% relative to 100 mass% of the above-mentioned raw materials, wherein the magnesia is 25 to 50 mass%, the spinel is 0 to 20 mass%, the carbon raw material is 2 to 8 mass%, and the carbon black as the carbon raw material is 1 mass% or more.
Patent document 2 proposes a sliding nozzle plate for a ladle, which is formed of a brick formed of 35 to 75 mass% magnesia and 20 to 60 mass% alumina, relative to the amount of a complex containing refractory aggregate, which is formed of 35 to 75 mass% alumina, and metal aluminum and carbon, and which is obtained by adding a binder to the complex, kneading the mixture, and firing the mixture at a temperature of 1000 ℃ or less after molding.

Means for solving the problems
In order to solve the above problems, the gist of the present invention is as follows.

[3]As described above [1]]Or [ 2] above]The method for continuously casting steel is characterized in that MgO is 89-97% by mass and Al is contained in the composition of the 2 nd sliding nozzle plate 2 O 3 4 to 7 mass%.

This makes it possible to prevent both the adhesion of inclusions to the outflow hole of the sliding nozzle plate of the ladle and the blocking of the nozzle, and to suppress the melting loss of the sliding nozzle plate of the tundish and the adhesion of inclusions to the outflow hole of the sliding nozzle plate, thereby preventing the failure of the continuous casting from being stopped, and to realize the implementation of continuous casting and the improvement of the number of continuous casting charges.
Detailed Description
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described.
A method for continuously casting molten steel, comprising continuously casting molten steel containing calcium (Ca) without adding aluminum (Al), deoxidizing silicon (Si), and adding calcium (Ca), wherein the molten steel is contained in a ladle provided with a sliding nozzle composed of a 1 st sliding nozzle plate, wherein the 1 st sliding nozzle plate is provided with a plurality of sliding nozzlesThe tip plate is made of alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) Zirconium oxide (ZrO) 2 ) -carbon (C) refractory formation, molten steel being poured from a ladle into a tundish equipped with a sliding nozzle composed of a 2 nd sliding nozzle plate made of magnesia (MgO) -spinel (MgAl) 2 O 4 ) And forming a refractory, and injecting molten steel from a tundish into the mold while blowing inert gas into the molten steel flowing down from the outflow holes of the 2 nd sliding nozzle plate.
First, the reason why the material of the sliding nozzle plate (hereinafter also simply referred to as "plate") of the ladle in the present invention is selected will be described.
In general, calcium in molten steel is associated with Al in molten steel, slag and refractory 2 O 3 React to form CaO-Al 2 O 3 Is an oxide. The CaO-Al is 2 O 3 The oxide may have a composition such that its melting point is lower than the temperature of molten steel. Therefore, when a steel to which calcium is added is continuously cast using a sliding nozzle plate made of a material mainly composed of alumina, calcium in the molten steel and Al in the plate at a contact portion (for example, a tap hole) between the molten steel and the plate 2 O 3 Reacting to form CaO-Al 2 O 3 A low melting point oxide of CaO-Al which is produced by calcium treatment and suspended in molten steel 2 O 3 Inclusions adhere to the plate and are associated with Al in the plate 2 O 3 Reacting to form CaO-Al 2 O 3 Is a low melting point oxide. Due to the CaO-Al 2 O 3 The formation of the low melting point oxide causes melting loss of the plate.
On the other hand, with CaO-Al 2 O 3 Calcium in molten steel and CaO-Al produced by calcium treatment, as compared with the oxide 2 O 3 CaO-MgO-based oxide formed by reaction with MgO in the plate, caO-Al 2 O 3 The MgO-based oxide has a high melting point, which is in most cases higher than the temperature of the molten steel. Therefore, even if a steel to which calcium is added is continuously cast using a plate made of a material mainly composed of magnesite, melting loss of the plate is less likely to occur.
However, in continuous casting, molten steel passes through the pouring holes of the plate while contacting the pouring holes, and therefore the molten steel contacting the pouring holes of the plate is locally cooled. At this time, inclusions suspended in molten steel may adhere to the outflow holes of the plate and solidify. Then, when the adhesion of the inclusions is started, the inclusions are also aggregated and solidified when the inclusions suspended in the molten steel subsequently come into contact with the portion, and the adhesion growth of the inclusions continues until the final nozzle is closed, and the injection of the molten steel is not continued.
Accordingly, in the present invention, the 1 st sliding nozzle plate, which is a ladle sliding nozzle plate, is not a plate containing magnesia as a main component, but an alumina-zirconia-carbonaceous refractory is used, and adhesion and solidification of inclusions to the plate outflow hole are prevented.
By using the alumina-zirconia-carbonaceous refractory for the 1 st sliding nozzle plate, calcium in molten steel and CaO-SiO produced by the calcium treatment and suspended in molten steel 2 Inclusions (in the present invention, silicon killed without addition of aluminum) and Al in the plate 2 O 3 The reaction and thus the plate is moderately melted. By properly melting the sliding nozzle plate, the inclusions in the molten steel are separated from each other and are not fixed to the plate even if they adhere to the outflow holes of the plate.
The calcium in the molten steel, caO-SiO, is responsible for 2 Inclusions and Al in the plate 2 O 3 And the risk of excessive melting of the plate. However, in the case of a steel grade containing calcium which is silicon-deoxidized without adding aluminum, the activity of calcium in molten steel is low, and calcium in molten steel and Al in plates are low, as compared with a conventional aluminum-deoxidized-calcium-added steel 2 O 3 The reaction of (2) becomes smooth. Therefore, excessive melting loss of the board does not occur. Further, unlike the sliding nozzle plate of the tundish described later, even in the case of continuous casting, the sliding nozzle plate of the ladle is durable only in the period of pouring the molten steel in the ladle of at least 1 filling part into the tundish, and thus does not hinder the operation.
Next, the reason for selecting the material of the sliding nozzle plate of the tundish according to the present invention will be described.
In the invention, the slide serving as the tundishThe 2 nd sliding nozzle plate of the moving nozzle plate uses magnesia-spinel refractory. As described above, in the case of using a plate made of a material mainly composed of alumina, calcium and CaO-SiO in molten steel 2 Inclusions and Al in the plate 2 O 3 The reaction, plate melting loss occurs. Since the sliding nozzle plate of the tundish is required to control the injection amount of molten steel into the mold more precisely, even a small amount of plate melting loss needs to be avoided. That is, a plate made of alumina as a main component is not suitable for a tundish.
On the other hand, there is a risk that inclusions adhere to the plate outflow holes due to the use of magnesia-spinel refractories for the 2 nd sliding nozzle plate. However, a part of the inclusions in the molten steel float and separate in the ladle and the tundish, the amount of inclusions in the molten steel decreases, and the inert gas is blown into the molten steel flowing down from the plate outflow hole of the tundish to clean the inner surface of the plate outflow hole, thereby suppressing adhesion of the inclusions to the plate outflow hole. Therefore, even if a plate made of magnesia as a main component is used for the tundish plate, the blocking of the outflow holes does not occur, and the number of continuous casting operations can be increased. In the method of blowing inert gas into molten steel flowing down through the plate outflow holes of the tundish, inert gas may be blown from the upper nozzle provided above the sliding nozzle, or may be blown from the inner surface of the outflow holes of the sliding nozzle plate.
The "alumina-zirconia-carbonaceous refractory" in the present invention includes at least "alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) "," zirconia (ZrO 2 ) "," fixed carbon "as the component. Further, as the 1 st sliding nozzle plate used for the sliding nozzle of the ladle, al in the composition of the component is preferable 2 O 3 70 to 81 mass percent of SiO 2 Less than 10 mass percent of ZrO 2 5 to 18 mass% and 3 to 10 mass% of fixed carbon.
Here, if Al 2 O 3 If the content of (b) is less than 70% by mass, moderate melting loss cannot be obtained, which is not preferable. On the other hand, if Al 2 O 3 If the content of (C) is more than 81% by mass, the melting loss is too large, and it is not preferableSelecting.
By adding ZrO 2 The corrosion resistance of the plate to calcium in molten steel is improved. However, if ZrO 2 If the content of (C) is too large, bursting easily occurs, and ZrO 2 The range of (2) is preferably 5 to 18 mass%.
SiO 2 Is to add ZrO 2 When in ZrO 2 Is an inevitable component contained in the raw materials of (a). SiO (SiO) 2 When the content is 10% by mass or less, the properties are not affected, so SiO 2 The content of (2) is preferably 10 mass% or less.
The raw material to be Fixed carbon (Fixed carbon) is, for example, graphite. In addition to this, carbon black, asphalt, and the like can be used. By adding graphite or the like, the bursting resistance of the refractory is improved. On the other hand, if the amount of fixed carbon added is too large, oxygen in the molten steel reacts with C in the fixed carbon and is released as CO gas, and pores are formed in the plate. Therefore, the content of the fixed carbon is preferably set to 3 to 10 mass%.
The 2 nd sliding nozzle plate used as the sliding nozzle of the tundish preferably has a composition of 89 to 97% by mass MgO and Al 2 O 3 4 to 7 mass%.
Here, mgO is less than 89 mass%, which is not preferable because corrosion resistance is reduced. If MgO is more than 97% by mass, the bursting resistance is lowered, which is not preferable. As a raw material of MgO, sintered magnesia or fused magnesia having MgO purity of 95 mass% or more is preferably used. If the purity is less than 95 mass%, a low-melting point product tends to be formed due to impurities, and the corrosion resistance is lowered, which is not preferable.
Al contained in the 2 nd sliding nozzle plate 2 O 3 Is a component contained by using spinel as a raw material of the plate. Spinel is MgO and Al 2 O 3 A compound obtained by equimolar combination of MgO side and Al 2 O 3 The sides have a solid solubility. That is, in the present invention, the "magnesia-spinel refractory" includes at least "magnesia (MgO)", and "spinel (MgAl) 2 O 4 ) "in addition to the above, the composition may contain fixed carbon. As the spinel used in the present inventionStone material of Al 2 O 3 And a raw material having a MgO content of 95% by mass or more and a MgO content of 10 to 50% by mass. In addition, either of sintered spinel or fused spinel can be used as a spinel raw material.
By using spinel as a raw material, the bursting resistance of the refractory is improved. If the mixing amount of spinel is small, al 2 O 3 If the content is less than 4% by mass, the effect of improving the bursting resistance by spinel cannot be sufficiently obtained, which is not preferable. On the other hand, if the amount of spinel to be blended is large, al 2 O 3 If the content exceeds 7 mass%, the corrosion resistance is lowered, which is not preferable.
The raw material for forming the fixed carbon is, for example, graphite. In addition to this, carbon black, asphalt, and the like can be used. The fixed carbon is mixed with the magnesia-sand phase and the spinel phase. By adding graphite or the like, the bursting resistance of the refractory is improved. However, if the amount of fixed carbon added is excessive, oxygen (O) in the molten steel reacts with carbon (C) in the fixed carbon and is released as CO gas, and holes are formed in the sliding nozzle plate. Therefore, the content of the fixed carbon is more preferably 1 to 5 mass%.
The present inventors have obtained the above-described results based on laboratory experiments described below.
The following experiments were performed: test pieces were cut out of each of the slide nozzle plates of level 1 (magnesia-spinel refractory as a main component) and level 2 and level 3 (alumina-zirconia-carbonaceous refractory as a main component) shown in table 1, and immersed in molten steel to which calcium was added after deoxidizing with silicon. The dipping time was 30 minutes and the rotational speed of the test piece was 300rpm.
TABLE 1
After the experiment, SEM observation and EPMA analysis were performed on the contact interface of molten steel in each test piece to investigate CaO-SiO 2 Thickness of the system inclusions. The results of the investigation are shown in Table 2.
TABLE 2
As shown in Table 2, caO-SiO was generated in the level 1 (mainly composed of magnesite) 2 Adhesion of inclusions. On the other hand, in level 2 (mainly composed of alumina) and level 3 (mainly composed of alumina), caO-SiO was not observed 2 Adhesion of inclusions.
It was confirmed that CaO-SiO was present in the molten steel 2 The CaO-SiO material of the test piece having alumina as a main component, although the inclusion was adhered to the surface of the test piece at one time 2 Al in the system inclusions and test piece 2 O 3 Component reaction, forming a liquid phase reaction product at the temperature of molten steel, thereby CaO-SiO 2 The adhesion of the system inclusion does not proceed. That is, it is known that by using the ladle sliding nozzle plate as a material containing alumina as a main component, the occurrence of a clogging failure of the plate outflow hole, which is a problem in the ladle sliding nozzle plate, can be suppressed during the continuous casting operation.
The method for continuously casting molten steel according to the present invention is suitable for continuously casting molten steel having a composition of 1.5 mass% or more of silicon (Si), 0.003 mass% or less (including zero) of acid-soluble aluminum (sol.al), and 0.001 mass% or more of total calcium (t.ca). Here, the total calcium is the sum of calcium dissolved in molten steel and calcium contained in inclusions in molten steel.
The method for continuously casting molten steel according to the present invention is preferably used for continuously casting molten steel in which carbon is 0.0050 mass% or less, silicon is 1.5 to 5.0 mass%, manganese is 3.0 mass% or less, phosphorus is 0.2 mass% or less, sulfur is 0.0050 mass% or less, acid-soluble aluminum is 0.003 mass% or less (including zero), and total calcium is 0.001 to 0.008 mass% in the composition of the molten steel. The molten steel is preferably molten steel that is a material of the non-oriented electrical steel sheet.
The reason why the chemical components of the non-oriented electrical steel sheet are specified in the above manner is as follows.
Carbon (C); 0.0050 mass% or less
Carbon is an element that causes magnetic aging and increases iron loss, and in particular, if it exceeds 0.0050 mass%, the increase in iron loss becomes remarkable, and thus is limited to 0.0050 mass% or less. Preferably 0.0030 mass% or less. The lower limit is not particularly limited, since the smaller the lower limit is, the more preferable is.
Silicon (Si); 1.5 to 5.0 mass percent
Silicon is an element effective for increasing the electrical resistance of steel and reducing iron loss. In particular, in the present invention, silicon is contained in an amount of 1.5 mass% or more in order to reduce aluminum having the same effect as silicon. However, if silicon exceeds 5.0 mass%, not only the magnetic flux density is reduced, but also cracks or the like are generated in embrittlement of steel and cold rolling, which greatly reduces manufacturability. Therefore, the upper limit is set to 5.0 mass%.
Manganese (Mn); 3.0 mass% or less
Like silicon, manganese is also an element effective for increasing the electrical resistance of steel and reducing the iron loss. On the other hand, if manganese exceeds 3.0 mass%, the magnetic flux density decreases, and therefore the upper limit is set to 3.0 mass%. More preferably, the manganese content is 0.05 mass% or more.
Acid soluble aluminum (sol.al); less than 0.003 mass percent (including zero)
Aluminum is also an element effective for increasing the electrical resistance of steel and reducing the iron loss, like silicon, but in the present invention, aluminum is reduced for the purpose of improving the texture and increasing the magnetic flux density, and is limited to 0.003 mass% or less in terms of acid-soluble aluminum. The lower limit is not particularly limited, since it is more preferable that it is smaller.
Phosphorus (P); 0.2 mass% or less
Phosphorus is a useful element having a large effect of improving the hardness of steel in a small amount, and can be appropriately contained according to the required hardness. However, since excessive phosphorus content causes a decrease in cold-rollability, the upper limit of phosphorus is set to 0.2 mass%.
Sulfur (S); 0.0050 mass% or less
Sulfur forms sulfide to form inclusions, and decreases manufacturability (hot-rolling property) and magnetic properties of a steel sheet, so that it is more preferable to decrease sulfur content. Therefore, in the present invention, the upper limit may be allowed to be 0.0050 mass%, but in the case where the magnetic characteristics are important, it is preferably set to 0.0025 mass% or less. The smaller the sulfur, the more preferable, so the lower limit is not particularly specified.
Total calcium (t.ca); 0.001 to 0.008 mass%
Calcium forms coarse sulfides as CaS, and suppresses precipitation of fine sulfides such as MnS, and thus has an effect of improving grain growth and reducing iron loss. Therefore, the total calcium is 0.001 mass% or more. On the other hand, if the total calcium exceeds 0.008 mass%, the amount of calcium sulfide or oxide increases, which hinders the growth of crystal grains, but rather reduces the iron loss characteristics. Therefore, the upper limit of total calcium is set to 0.0080 mass%.
As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent adhesion of inclusions to the outflow hole of the sliding nozzle plate of the ladle, to prevent nozzle clogging, to suppress melting loss of the sliding nozzle plate of the tundish, and to prevent adhesion of inclusions to the outflow hole of the sliding nozzle plate, and to prevent failure of continuous casting suspension, to realize implementation of continuous casting, and to improve the number of continuous casting charges.
Examples
Continuous casting of molten steel (molten steel amount of steel was 1-time 250 tons) was performed by using a plate made of a material of level 1 (mainly composed of magnesite) and a plate made of a material of level 2 or level 3 (mainly composed of alumina) shown in table 1, without adding aluminum or deoxidized by silicon, for the ladle and the tundish. The composition of the molten steel containing calcium contains 0.0050% by mass or less of carbon, 3.5 to 5.0% by mass of silicon, 3.0% by mass or less of manganese, 0.02% by mass or less of phosphorus, 0.0010% by mass or less of sulfur, 0.003% by mass or less of acid-soluble aluminum, and 0.001 to 0.003% by mass of total calcium.
For the following cases, tests were carried out to compare the occurrence rate of the sliding nozzle blocking failure of the ladle with the durability number of the sliding nozzle of the tundish (the number of charges of continuous casting): a case where a plate made of magnesia as a main component is applied to a sliding nozzle of a ladle and a plate made of alumina as a main component is applied to a sliding nozzle of a tundish (conventional mode 1); a case where a plate made of magnesia as a main component is applied to both the slide nozzle of the ladle and the slide nozzle of the tundish (conventional mode 2); when a plate made of alumina as a main component is applied to a sliding nozzle of a ladle and a plate made of magnesia as a main component is applied to a sliding nozzle of a tundish (mode of the present invention). The test results are shown in Table 3. No difference was observed between the test results of the plate made of the material of level 2 and the plate made of the material of level 3, and table 3 shows the results when the plate made of the material of level 2 was used.
TABLE 3
As shown in table 3, in conventional mode 1, the sliding nozzle plate of the tundish, which is made of alumina as a main component, is melted and damaged by calcium in molten steel, and the number of continuous casting charges is 2. In addition, in the sliding nozzle of the ladle, caO-SiO was generated in a proportion of about 4% of the number of charges 2 Occlusion failure due to the adhesion of system inclusions.
In conventional mode 2, a plate made of magnesia as a main component and having high corrosion resistance is used for a sliding nozzle plate of a tundish, so that the number of charges in continuous casting is increased to 5 charges. On the other hand, in the sliding nozzle of the ladle, the composition of CaO-SiO was generated at a rate of about 4% of the filling amount as in the conventional mode 1 2 Occlusion failure due to the adhesion of system inclusions.
In the embodiment of the invention, the sliding nozzle plate used as the ladle is made of CaO-SiO in the molten steel 2 The plate of a material containing alumina as a main component, which is a reaction product in which inclusions are generated in a liquid phase, can eliminate the occurrence of a fault of occlusion of inclusions in a sliding nozzle of a ladle.
In addition, in the sliding nozzle plate of the tundish, adhesion of inclusions is suppressed by the floating separation effect of inclusions in the ladle and the tundish and the cleaning effect by blowing inert gas into molten steel flowing down through the plate outflow hole of the tundish, and the number of charges for continuous casting is increased to 5 charges by applying a plate made of magnesia as a main component.
