STUDY ON A TWO-PHASE LOW-TEMPERATURE MODEL OF THE FEATURES OF METAL TAPPING IN BASIC OXYGEN FURNACE

The paper shows the results of a study influence cut-off method slag by using destructible plugs on quantitative indicators redistribution and metal in steel ladle during tapping operation from converter. laboratory setup simulates real 160-ton industrial top-blown oxygen converter, at scale 1:18 has been used to fulfill study. Water was chosen as liquid imitator, machine oil for with parameters that ensure similarity physical metal-slag system. modelling process two-phase converter bath case plug tap hole compared option without it showed significant positive effect presence initial period moment is tilted.
