Aluminum-Free Steelmaking: Desulfurization and Nonmetallic Inclusion Evolution of Si-Killed Steel in Contact with CaO-SiO2-CaF2-MgO Slag

Kinetics of spinel formation and growth during dissolution of MgO in CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 slag

Thermodynamic simulation on mineralogical composition of CaO–SiO2–Al2O3–MgO quaternary slag system

It is necessary to elucidate the crystallization thermodynamic of mineralogical phases during the cooling process of the molten BFS with different chemical composition, because the high-melting point mineral phase maybe crystallized during the fiber forming and thereafter cooling process. Thermodynamic calculation software FactSage6.4 and the hot remelting experiments were performed to explore ...

desulfurization of plain carbon steel by cao-al2o3-sio2 and cao-al2o3-sio2-x (x = na2o, sro) synthetic slags

synthetic slag process decreases sulfur and phosphorus contents of steel, improves inclusion removal, protects steel from atmosphere and prevents temperature drop of the liquid steel in the ladle. in this study, the synthetic slags of ternary cao-al2o3-sio2,and quaternary cao-al2o3-sio2-na2o and cao-al2o3-sio2-sro systems were pre-melted and then were kept in contact with the liquid steel in a ...

Inclusion Evolution during Modification of Alumina Inclusions by Calcium in Liquid Steel and Deformation during Hot Rolling Process

The production of clean steel involves the controlling, elimination, or modification of nonmetallic inclusions. In Al-killed steels, alumina is the main type of inclusion. Calcium treatment, by wire feeding, is commonly used to modify solid alumina inclusions to calcium aluminates, which exists in a fully or partially liquid phase. Liquid inclusions can improve steel castability, but make inclu...

Experimental Study on the Behavior of TiN and Ti2O3 Inclusions in Contact with CaO‐Al2O3‐SiO2‐MgO Slags

TiN and Ti2O3 are the predominant inclusion types in Ti-alloyed ferritic chromium stainless steels. In order to ensure the required steel cleanness level, an effective removal of such inclusions in the slag during secondary metallurgy is essential. This inclusion removal predominantly takes place via dissolution of the inclusion in the slag. The dissolution behavior of TiN and Ti2O3 in CaO-SiO2...
