Abstract
The slide gate is the most advanced type of casting device. The design of this gate is based on the action of two refractory plates, which are in close contact with each other, one of which slides on the other, fixed motionlessly. Sliding gates can be of two types: with a lower movable plate, which carries out a back-and-forth movement in the horizontal direction using a hydraulic cylinder, and with a lower movable plate, which rotates around an axis. The shutter of first type is called a slide gate; the second is a rotary shutter.
 Monitoring of properties in particular strength of refractory inserts facilitates increase in operation reliability of constituent plates of sliding shutters in steel casting ladles. However, it is not possible to apply the existing standards for the compressive strength determination of these refractory products, because these standards do not provide for test samples with dimensions less than 20 mm. That's why the procedure MB 322-39-2021 was developed and implemented by JSC “URIR named after A. S. Berezhnoy” with the purpose of monitoring of cold compressive strength of refractory inserts for constituent plates of sliding shutters. According to this procedure, a method for measuring the compressive strength is used: the cross-sectional area of the test sample is determined, the maximum compressive load that leads to the test sample failure is measured, and the compressive strength is calculated.
