Conclusions As a result of work carried out by institutes and enterprises in the refractories and metallurgical industry of the USSR, various types of refractories have been developed for continuous steel casting plant that is widely used in production conditions. The speeding up of the work of continuous casting plant, the extension of the range of steels being cast, and the development of continuous casting plant of various designs all require decisions to be made in the field of refractory materials. It is necessary to continue research into the mechanism responsible for the formation of the contact layer between the steel and the refractory, the way in which it reacts, and the movement in various boundary conditions; it will also be necessary to develop further scientific experimental theories for the contact layer, and through the accumulation of the necessary data to approach the problems of constructing a mathematical model for the process. The main problem is to improve refractories used in batching setups in order to create reliable channels for transporting the steel to the mold at a controllable velocity. For the important elements of the complex, that is, the unit responsible for the flow of metal from the ladle and its control, and also for introducing the molten metal under the meniscus into the mold it is necessary to develop refractories with the optimum physicochemical properties, ensuring continuous operation of the plant for sufficiently long periods, measured as a function of the type of steel in terms of 4–12 h or more.
