2. Description of the Related Art Recently, an operation in which a tundish for continuous casting is repeatedly used hot has been reported. When tundish is repeatedly used hot, not only the refractory cost can be significantly reduced, but also the work personnel for refractory refilling can be reduced, and it is drawing attention as a so-called 3K elimination measure. However, when it is repeatedly used, residual molten steel and residual slag discharge residue accumulates on the refractory surface in the tundish, and it becomes impossible to hold an appropriate amount of molten steel in the tundish, and the usage limit is reached. Therefore, in the operation, flux has been added in order to improve the slag discharge property, and the number of times of repeated use has been improved.

The present inventors conducted a continuous use test of tundish and found the optimum conditions by changing the flux composition and the addition timing.

The composition of the deposit in the tundish is Al 2 O.

It was confirmed that the composition was

Therefore, the ternary system of CaO, CaF 2 , and MgO was used as the flux added in the tundish. C
It is considered that aO has a function of lowering the melting point by mixing with Al 2 O 3 and SiO 2 which are considered to be the cause of deposits. Which in ternary phase diagram of CaO-Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 , Continue adding CaO to deposit and infer its composition, because just become low melting range.

Next, CaF 2 has a function of promoting melting of the flux itself. This is because the melting point of CaF 2 itself is as low as 1420 ° C., which itself preferentially melts and accelerates the melting of other components.

Regarding MgO, it is generally MgO.
It has been reported that the higher the concentration, the lesser the erosion effect of CaF 2 or the like. Therefore, it is necessary to contain MgO to some extent.

However, the present inventors have found that MgO
It was found that the tundish deposit changed to a compound containing MgO as the flux containing 100% was used. Therefore, when a test in which the concentration of MgO was changed was carried out, it was found that the lower the content of MgO, the lower the amount of tundish deposits, as shown in FIG. Specifically, it has been confirmed that the amount of tundish deposits is halved when MgO is less than 10%, and MgO is preferable.
Is less than 5%, and most preferred is a flux that is not intentionally added as a MgO source.

Further, the lower the MgO content, the higher the risk of corrosion of the refractory in the tundish, but as shown in FIG. 2, addition at the end of continuous casting, specifically 50 minutes before the end of casting. By doing so, it was found that the erosion of the refractory material was extremely reduced. (In the figure, when the refractory erosion degree is small, it means large melt loss.)

【0022】これは、フラックス添加後からスラグ排出

This is because the time from the addition of flux to the discharge of slag is short and CaF easily corrodes refractory materials.
It is considered that this is because the action of 2 could be reduced.

Regarding the timing of addition of the flux, there is an optimum timing from the viewpoint of the particle size of the added flux and the superheat of the molten steel, and it is necessary to improve the slag slag floating on the upper surface of the molten steel in the tundish. It may be added for 20 to 60 minutes before the end of continuous casting.
