Popis: The increase in market demand for small masses of special purpose steel forces its producers to use the technique of continuous casting with a transition zone. The article presents the results of model tests of limiting the range of the transition zone as a result of the use of an impact pad and changes in the volume of liquid steel in the tundish. A water physical model of a Continuous Steel Casting (CSC) device equipped with a two-outlets tundish was used for the research. The criterion for assessing the range of the transition zone was the value of the minimum time of complete mixing tome of the tracer in the modeling liquid, determined on the basis of the Residence Time Distribution (RTD) curves. Visualization techniques of the modeling liquid mixing process were used to identify hydrodynamic phenomena.
