Ladle to Tundish Shrouds (LTS) are specialized refractory tubes used in continuous casting operations to transfer molten steel safely from the ladle to the tundish while protecting the steel stream from atmospheric exposure. By creating a protected pathway between the ladle nozzle and tundish, LTS helps minimize reoxidation, nitrogen pickup, and contamination, thereby improving steel cleanliness and casting quality.
Manufactured from high-quality alumina-graphite, zirconia-graphite, and other advanced refractory compositions, Ladle to Tundish Shrouds are engineered to withstand extreme temperatures, thermal shock, molten steel erosion, and mechanical stresses encountered during steel transfer operations. Their robust design ensures stable steel flow, reduced turbulence, and reliable performance throughout casting sequences.
