Investigation of the influence of the melt slag regime in a ladle furnace on the cleanliness of the steel

Abstract

An experimental investigation of the influence of the ladle slag’s chemical composition, the ladle slag’s mass and the furnace slag’s mass (during the tapping flow in the ladle) on the sulphur content in steel was carried out. The parameters of the slag and the steel were obtained in operational conditions of oxygen LD converter melts and from the subsequent ladle furnace LF processing.
