Abstract
The slag melting characteristic of slag forming and slag splashing for 300 t BOF less slag process is researched by combining the methods of the slag chemical composition, the melting point determination and the pétrographie analysis. The results show that the melting point of final slag for less slag smelting is 20 ’C lower than that for conventional smelting. According to results of the pétrographie analysis, the C3S (3CaO • SiCO and C2S (2CaO • Sift) content for less slag smelting are lower than those for conventional smelting, while the RO (FeO, MgO, MnO, etc) phase and C4AF (4CaO • Al2O3 • Fe2O3) phase are higher than those for conventional smelting. According to results of the chemical analysis, the (CaO) content and slag basicity for less slag smelting are higher than those for conventional smelting, while (FeO) and (MgO) content in slag for less slag smelting are almost equal to those for conventional smelting. The reason why slag melting point for less slag smelting is lower than that for conventional smelting is that the quantity of added fluorite for less slag smelting is more than that for conventional smelting. According to the analysis results the slag melting point is determined by the C3S, C2S, RO phase and C4AF content. According to the results of slag melting characteristic before and after slag splashing for less slag smelting, the present adjusting slag process has little effect. It is important to adjust the composition of BOF final slag. The (FeO) content in slag is to be reduced at the slag splashing and adjusting slag process for less slag smelting.
