Slag remover is an important auxiliary agent used to remove impurities such as oxides, sulfides, and inclusions generated during the steelmaking process. The use of slag removal agents usually depends on the specific process and equipment of steelmaking, and generally includes the following steps:
Add slag remover: At the appropriate time during the steelmaking process, gradually add pre measured slag remover into the furnace or furnace material according to the furnace type and process requirements. The slag remover can be a solid, liquid, or powder material, and the appropriate form can be selected according to the needs.
Uniform mixing: Ensure that the slag remover is fully mixed with the metal in the melt to promote the adsorption and settling of impurities. Uniform mixing is usually achieved through methods such as stirring equipment or gas injection.
Removing slag: After the slag removal agent acts, impurities will accumulate into slag and float on the surface of the metal. At this time, slag needs to be removed from the metal through methods such as pouring and vacuum pumping to ensure the smooth progress of the steelmaking process.
Observing slag quality: During the steelmaking process, it is necessary to continuously observe the slag quality and adjust the amount and frequency of slag removal agents as needed to ensure effective removal of impurities during the steelmaking process.
Slag remover plays an important role in the steelmaking process, which can improve the purity of steel, reduce the content of inclusions, and thus improve the performance and quality of steel. Therefore, the correct selection and use of slag removal agents in the steelmaking process is crucial.
