The solidified particles become equiaxed crystal nuclei of the slab, significantly improve the solidification structure of the continuously cast slab, increase the equiaxed crystal ratio, and reduce center segregation. Of course, a part of the solidified particles is redissolved in the molten steel, so that the total amount of the particles solidified during the scattering does not become effective crystal nuclei. However, as a side effect,
Since these solidified particles take away the latent heat of melting during remelting, they have the effect of cooling the molten steel around them. Similarly, the droplets that have fallen into the molten steel without being solidified also have a slight cooling effect.
