摘要：

Control of the liquid steel flow between the tundish and mold has been achieved in the continuous casting process by the use of metering nozzles, stopper rods or slidegates. Each system has advantages and disadvantages when compared with the other. The metering nozzle, for example, was the cheapest system but also the least flexible. The slidegate system was the most expensive but it did offer some flexibility over the stopper rod system. The recently developed rotary valve combines the major advantages of stopper rods and slidegates and also counteracts their disadvantages. Water modeling has been shown to be a useful tool in establishing design parameters for the refractory components. The rotary valve has successfully operated on billet, bloom and slab casters.
