Reduce Slag Carryover Reliably in Steel Production

Slag Detection – Measurement Methods. When slag begins to exit along with the steel the pour is stopped. Initially, the process of detecting slag was visual. An operator wore a dark viewing shield, or visor, to observe the color of the pour. Since slag has higher emissivity, it looks brighter than the steel preceding it.

Slag Properties in the Primary Production Process of Mn-Ferroalloys

The thermodynamic and kinetic properties of the carbothermic reduction of MnO in the five-component slag, MnO-SiO2-CaO-MgO-Al2O3, is critical in the production process of Mn-ferroalloys. While the reduction rate is mainly dependent on the presence of a solid MnO phase in the slag for Mn-Fe-alloys, the rate for the Mn-Si-Fe alloys has two distinct steps, a slow step …
