Investigation of the Physicochemical Properties of Slag Splashed on the Lining of an Oxygen Converter1

Abstract

The lining of oxygen converters is a structural component, which requires permanent attention and significant investments in all metallurgical plants. These investments are connected with the necessity of application of high-cost refractory materials and with the expenses spent for the repairs of lining and relining, which strongly affects the cost of melting of steel. In this connection, in recent years, the metallurgical works all over the world try to find new efficient constructive solutions and improve the already existing technologies. One of these solutions is called the residual slag splashing technology.
