abstract

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 high frequency induction furnace. the results showed that the optimum reaction time for desulfurization is 15 minutes and the desulfurization efficiency for ternary slag is 33% whereas for the sro- and na2o-containing quaternary slags are 34% and 7%, respectively. furthermore, it was shown that the desulfurization efficiency for sro-containing slag can be obtained more than doubled (from 34% to 77%) by employing covered crucibles.

EFFECT OF A FOURTH COMPONENT (Na2O, SrO, MgO AND BaO) ADDITION TO CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 SYNTHETIC SLAG ON SULFUR REMOVAL FROM PLAIN CARBON STEEL

In this paper, the effect of MgO, BaO, Na 2 O and SrO addition to a pre-melted CaO-Al2O3 -Si 2 O synthetic slag on sulfur removal from plain carbon steel was studied under the same experimental conditions. The slags were pre-melted at 1400°C in an electric resistant furnace and desulfurization experiments were carried out in a high frequency induction furnace. The results showed that ...

Synthesis of Nanoscale CaO-Al2O3-SiO2-H2O and Na2O-Al2O3-SiO2-H2O Using the Hydrothermal Method and Their Characterization

C-A-S-H (CaO-Al₂O₃-SiO₂-H₂O) and N-A-S-H (Na₂O-Al₂O₃-SiO₂-H₂O) have a wide range of chemical compositions and structures and are difficult to separate from alkali-activated materials. Therefore, it is difficult to analyze their microscopic properties directly. This paper reports research on the synthesis of C-A-S-H and N-A-S-H particles with an average particle size smaller than 300 nm by apply...

Electronic/Ionic Properties of FexO–SiO2–CaO–Al2O3 Slags at Various Oxygen Potentials and Temperatures

Electrochemical nature of metallurgical reaction arouses more and more attentions, and the most closely related is the electrical conductivity of molten slag. The electrical conductivity of molten slag is not only an important physical property that plays a prominent role in modeling and operating the electric smelting furnace and optimizing the metallurgical process, but also important for und...

Measuring and Modeling Viscosity of CaO-Al2O3-SiO2(-K2O) Melt

The effect of K2O on viscosity in CaO-SiO2-Al2O3 melt has been measured by a rotating spindle viscometer. It is indicated from the experimental results that viscosity first increases then decreases with the increasing content of K2O; the maximum viscosity occurs in the field of K2O/ Al2O3 > 1. After gradually adding K2O, the transformation of bridging oxygen (from being bonded with Al ion charg...

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...

Structural properties of molten silicates from ab initio molecular-dynamics simulations: comparison between CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 and SiO2

We present the results of first-principles molecular-dynamics simulations of molten silicates, based on the density functional formalism. In particular, the structural properties of a calcium aluminosilicate [ CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 ] melt are compared to those of a silica melt. The local structures of the two melts are in good agreement with the experimental understanding of these systems. In the calc...
