The paper presents studies showing the effectiveness of the use of wire with SiCa filler in the out-of-furnace processing of steels. The efficiency of use was evaluated by calculating the contamination with non-metallic inclusions, as well as by determining the phase composition of non-metallic inclusions at the stages of out-of-furnace processing and casting. (installation bucket furnace→vacuum cleaner→continuous casting). The study found that the adjustment of the content of aluminum before casting leads to the formation of refractory inclusions of corundum - (AlO), spinels - (AlO·MgO), which are deposited on the walls of the steel filling path and worsen the spillability of steel. The use of SK30prov with SiCa filler at the final stages of extra-furnace processing (after the introduction of aluminum), leads to the modification of refractory inclusions in low-melting calcium aluminates of the type (CaO·AlO). The presence of low-melting inclusions is more preferable, since this type of inclusions is not deposited on the walls of the filling cup and does not have a negative effect on the contamination of the continuously cast billet and products obtained from them with inclusions.

Using optical and electron microscopy methods, the pollution of grade D carbon steel by nonmetallic inclusions in samples taken at the stages of metallurgical redistribution (EAF → LF → VOD → Casting). Metal contamination and chemical composition of non-metallic inclusions are determined. It was shown that deoxidation at the stage of production of the intermediate by aluminum leads to the formation of nonmetallic inclusions of corundum (Al2O3) in the metal melt, the proportion of which in total over all redistributions is 52%. Identification and assessment of contamination by non-metallic inclusions showed that subsequent stages of out-of-furnace treatment lead to a decrease in total pollution by inclusions. After evacuation and addition of Al and SiCa, corundum inclusions acquire a globular shape with a maximum size of not more than 6 μm. During solidification, the total contamination by non-metallic inclusions does not change, however. Contamination with silicate inclusions decreases, and the inclusion of corundum increases. The inclusions of corundum are irregular in shape, the high contamination with the inclusions of corundum is caused by secondary oxidation of aluminum during casting, as well as the ingress of products by overgrowing of the casting nozzle into the solidified continuously cast billet.

The solidification and cooling of a continuously cast billet and the simultaneous heating of the mold is a very complicated problem of three-dimensional (3D) transient heat and mass transfer. The solving of uch a problem is impossible without numerical models of the temperature field of the concasting itself which it is being processed through the concasting machine (caster). The application of the numerical model requires systematic experimentation and measurement of operational parameters on a real caster as well as in the laboratory. The measurement results, especially temperatures, serve not only for the verification of the exactness of the model, but mainly for optimization of the process procedure. The most important part of the investigation is the measurement of the temperatures in the walls of the mold and the surface of the slab in the zones of secondary and tertiary cooling.
