Prospects for the Use of Hollow Electrodes for Deep Desulfurization of Steel in the Ladle-Furnace Unit

Article Preview

Abstract:

The article discusses the possibilities of intensifying the process of desulfurization of molten steel in the process of after-furnace treatment of molten steel in the ladle-kiln unit. As one of the techniques, it was proposed to heat the melt with the help of hollow electrodes with argon feed during the operation of the electric arc plant. Comparative thermal balances of the installation in the basic and experimental versions and on the basis of the proposed mathematical model for calculating the mass-average temperature of the melt are given, and graphs of temperature changes during processing are plotted. To assess the efficiency of the desulfurization process, arrays of heats were processed in the basic and experimental mode and original three-parameter graphs were built, allowing to estimate the degree of desulfurization in both modes as a function of processing parameters.
