Long Keter supplying a comprehensive range of zirconia inserts mainly used in continuous casting of steel billets.
The inserts ,which was known as LKZN series, is magnesia stabilised & high density,can impart excellent erosion resistance even in the most severe casting environments.
Consistent casting speeds are achieved and the products have a high resistance to oxygen lancing.
Key Features of LKZN series are
• Extended casting sequences
• Controlled and consistent casting speeds
• High resistance to oxygen lancing
• More consistent re-stranding
• Use temperature up to 2400 ℃
• High density
• Low thermal conductivity (20% than of alumina)
• Chemical inertness
• Resistance to molten metals
• Ionic electrical conduction
• Wear resistance
• High fracture toughness
• High hardness
Zirconia inserts Application:
Using for metering nozzle, tundish upper nozzle, quick nozzle change upper nozzle and lower nozzle, and other special-shaped nozzle for steel making continuous casting.
