  • Patent number: 11203059
    Abstract: Provided is a molten material treatment apparatus including: a container having an upper portion, on which a molten material injection part is disposed, and a bottom part in which a hole is formed; a gas injection part attached to the bottom part between the molten material injection part and the hole; a chamber part formed on the upper portion of the container so as to face the gas injection part and having an inside open downward; and a plurality of vertical members disposed so as to cross a plurality of positions of a rotary flow region formed between the chamber part and the bottom part, wherein an inclusion removal efficiency can be improved while maintaining the molten material surface by a method in which a plurality of mutually different rotary flows are generated in a plurality of sections within the rotary flow region and are partially overlapped.

  • Publication number: 20190262895
    Abstract: Provided is casting equipment and a casting method using same. A casting method includes: preparing a tundish; injecting molten steel to the tundish; installing a vacuum forming member on an upper portion of the tundish to form vacuum in at least a partial area of an upper portion of a melting surface of molten steel accommodated in the tundish; forming a rotational flow by blowing a gas into the molten steel; and forming vacuum in at least a partial area of the upper portion of the melting surface of the molten steel. More particularly, the present disclosure may effectively remove inclusions in the molten steel and restrict reoxidation of the molten steel.
