The production flowsheet of austenite stainless steel 0Crl8Ni9 is hot metal dephosphorizing pretreatment- 75 t BOF-VOD-LF-200 mm x 1 200 mm slab casting process. The change of ingredient of 20 t tundish shielding agent (/% : 40.54CaO

and removal effect of oxygen and inclusions in steel are analyzed. The results show that with using high basicity tundish shielding agent after multi-heats continuous-continuous casting the effect of shielding agent absorbing silicate type inclusions is obvious
