[0024] Application examples Taking a 210t RH furnace in a large steel plant in Northeast China as an example, this branch plant has been in operation for over 10 years. Operating conditions include: steel-bearing time ranging from 90 to 180 minutes, tapping temperature of 1650-1710℃, primarily producing silicon steel and ultra-low carbon steel.

By adopting the flow guide of this invention (product of Example 1), the initial casting rate was increased to 99.6%-99.8%. Figure 1 The diagram shows the sintered layers of the flow-guiding agent of this invention and the conventional flow-guiding agent. It can be seen that the sintered layer of the flow-guiding agent of this invention is significantly thinner than that of the conventional flow-guiding agent. This demonstrates that the solution of this invention has positive practical performance for industrial production, can bring certain economic benefits to enterprises, and more importantly, improves the safe, continuous, and stable production capacity of the user unit.
