Radex Tubes are refractory protection tubes used in continuous casting operations to shield the molten steel stream during transfer from the ladle to the tundish. By creating a protected pathway for steel flow, these tubes help prevent reoxidation, reduce nitrogen pickup, minimize heat loss, and improve overall steel cleanliness throughout the casting process.
Maintaining temperature consistency is essential for smooth casting operations and steel quality. Radex Powder acts as a thermal barrier between molten steel and the atmosphere, reducing radiation heat losses while limiting steel reoxidation. Its lightweight and highly insulating nature enables steel plants to improve thermal efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and maintain stable casting conditions from the ladle to the tundish and mould.
