Abstract
PISTORIUS, PC.. Slag carry-over and the production of clean steel. J. S. Afr. Inst. Min. Metall. [online]. 2019, vol.119, n.6, pp.557-561. ISSN 2411-9717. http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2411-9717/kn01/2019.
For effective steel refining in the ladle (secondary steelmaking) the amount of steelmaking slag that is transferred from primary steelmaking must be limited, because the steelmaking slag contains iron oxide, manganese oxide, and phosphorus oxide. Adverse effects of slag carry-over include increased consumption of deoxidizers, phosphorus pick-up by the steel, and increased ladle refractory wear. Infrared imaging at longer wavelengths is an effective non-contact method to detect slag in the tapping stream. Various devices are used to shut off the tapping stream rapidly. These include slag darts, pneumatic slag stoppers, and slide gates for steelmaking converters, and eccentric bottom tapping for electric arc furnaces.
Keywords : steelmaking; phosphorus; slag carry-over.
