Tundish upper nozzles are mainly with Zirconium inserted, featuring high refractoriness, and low expansion rate, superior resistance to erosion/corrosion and thermal shock and long service life. According to customers’ different needs, AGMC can provide various sizes and specifications.
Our high purity and density ZrO2 tundish nozzle have the excellent shock stability, strong errosion resistance, durable working time etc features.We have the high density of 5.4g/cm3, taking the special material and technology, automatic production equipment, enough firing time, then excellent property than them. For the tundish nozzle inserts, we have making testing on 150tons ladle for 95% zirconia products, our tundish nozzle can keep working 10-12 hours, even longer.
