Tundish, a vessel with refractory-lining, is a part of a set of machinery which is used in metal casting, especially through continuous casting route. Being the last stoppage in the casting process before the entry of molten metal into the mold, it contains hot metal right before it is poured into the mold. Tundishes come in an array of sizes and styles. The tundish bottom has one or more nozzle port(s) with slide gate(s) or stopper rod(s) for controlling the metal flow.

Various flow control devices such as weirs, dams, baffles with holes etc. may be positioned along the length of the tundish. The tundish is planned to deliver the molten metal to the molds uniformly at a designed throughput rate and temperature without causing contamination by inclusions. The number of molds is...
