Comparison of steel desulphurisation at homogenisation station with physical modelling results

The paper deals with evaluation of relevant information about transfer processes taking place in the interface slag – metal and with the assessment of the rate and course of steel desulphurization. The study of mentioned processes took place with the verification of the results obtained by the plant experiments in the homogenization station using 180 t ladle and in the physical model of the ladle in the geometrical scale 1 : 9 supplemented by homogenization nozzle. Plant and physical experiments were based on similar methodology. Samples of metal and slag were taken in regular time intervals for following evaluation of kinetics of the sulphur loss in the metal and appropriate increase of sulphur contain in the slag.Web of Science54461461

Optimisation of the slag mode in the ladle during the steel processing of secondary metallurgy

Optimisation of the slag mode in the ladle with the help of briquetted fluxing agents, based on Al2O3 under various technological conditions is the object of this paper. The aim of the industrial experiments was to assess the possibility of achieving the optimum chemical composition of the slag that would improve the kinetic conditions of the refining ladle slag during the treatment in secondary metallurgy units. Industrial experiments were focused on comparing the influences of different slag-making agents such as lime (CaO), briquetted fluxing agents and deoxidation agents forming calcium carbide (CaC2) and granular aluminium (Algranul). During the evaluation of the slag mode in the ladle, samples of the steel from different technological places under operational conditions were taken to assess the desulphurization degree. The samples of the slag for evaluating the chosen parameters, such as basicity, the content of easily reducible oxides, the proportion of CaO/Al2O3 and the Mannesmann index, were taken too. Further, the temperature and the oxygen activity in the steel were continuously measured too. The results mentioned in this paper represent the basic information about the possibilities of the slag-mode optimisation in the ladle using different proportions of the slag-making additions, briquetted fluxing agents as well as the deoxidation agents within secondary metallurgy.Web of Science47567867

Wykorzystanie przemysłowych żużli syntetycznych w hucie třinecké Železárny, a.s.

The paper summarises experience with using synthetic slags on the CaO - Al2O3 oxide basis in the technological flow of the oxygen converter steelworks in TŘINECKÉ ŽELEZÁRNY, a.s. These slags are used as an alternative to slags containing fluorspar which unfavourably affects both the service life of ladle linings and the steelwork's working environment. The content gives the first knowledge of using the Refraflux type synthetic slag to desulphurize steel, and it also provides a basic statistical evaluation of the heat produced.W pracy podsumowano doświadczenia z użyciem żużli syntetycznych bazujących na tlenkach CaO - Al2O3 w technologii dmuchu tlenu w konwertorze stalowni TŘINECKÉ ŽELEZÁRNY, a.s. Żużle te są stosowane jako alternatywa dla żużli zawierających fluoryt, które niekorzystnie wpływają zarówno na żywotność wyłożenia kadzi i środowisko pracy stalowni. Artykuł przedstawia pierwsze doświadczenia z wykorzystaniem syntetycznych żużli typu Refraflux do odsiarczania stali, a także podstawowe dane statystyczne wytopu

Evaluation of steel desulphurization in the ladle during the utilization of briquetting fluxing agents for slags

This paper presents the experience obtained from plant experiments specialized in the usage of three types of fluxing agents for slags based on Al2O3. Proper experiments took place during the steel treatment by secondary metallurgy. The objective of the plant experiments was to assess the degree of steel desulphurization and its course. An assessment of the steel desulphurization with the help of basic parameters, such as the degree of desulphurization, the basicity, the content of easily reducible oxides, the proportion of CaO/Al2O3 and Mannesmann’s index was made. At the same time the behaviour of the fluxing agents and the development of their dissolution in steelmaking slags were assessed.Web of Science46668267
