Specialty Alloy & Foundry Melting & Processing
Production of high-alloy special steels in the EAF requires the use of different melting practices — from standard foaming slag operation, to recovery heats with no foaming slag, to heats with large amounts of FeCr charged into the furnace after earlier phosphorus removal. To reach aim carbon content in steel, decarburization by oxygen lancing or recarburization by carbon injection are required. This paper presents the operational results after installation of INTECO PTI jet and annulus burners on the EAF at Metal Ravne, a special steel producer. The installed tools proved to be very efficient and successfully replaced a previously used door lance manipulator.
