Abstract

A method of treating steel tundish. A first step involves subjecting the tundish to rapid cryogenic refrigeration until the tundish is micro-cracked and cryogenically imbrittled. A second step involves impacting the steel tundish with a force sufficient enough to facture and break apart the cryogenically micro-cracked and imbrittled steel tundish.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method of treating steel tundish, comprising the steps of: 
 subjecting the tundish to rapid cryogenic refrigeration until the tundish is micro-cracked and cryogenically imbrittled; and    impacting the steel tundish with a force sufficient enough to facture and break apart the cryogenically micro-cracked and imbrittled steel tundish.    
   
   
       2 . A method of treating steel tundish, comprising the steps of: 
 placing the tundish in a container;    covering the container; introducing cryogenic freezing into the container and subjecting the tundish to rapid cryogenic refrigeration until the tundish is micro-cracked and cryogenically imbrittled; and    impacting the steel tundish with a force sufficient enough to facture and break apart the cryogenically micro-cracked and imbrittled steel tundish.    
   
   
       3 . The method as defined in  claim 2 , the container being a pit.  
   
   
       4 . The method as defined in  claim 2 , the tundish being impacted by a steel ball being dropped from a height.
