Features
Producing a quality steel, while keeping operating costs low is your number one priority. The foamy slag in a foundry’s electric arc furnace (EAF) helps to stabilize the arc, protecting the refractories, shielding metal from the atmosphere and improving energy efficiency reducing power-on time and repair time. Lime injection supports foaminess throughout the heat and controls the apparent viscosity of the slag, which increases the yield of the heat. It is also important to saturate the slag with dolomitic lime to promote the foaming and protect refractory lining. Additionally, adding hydrated lime supports the lubrication for the shaping process and the atmospheric protection of the final product.
Benefits
Let Carmeuse help your Foundry Furnace operations run more smoothly by protecting your slag and refractory performance, and aiding in casting removal.
High Calcium (High Reactive) Quicklime
- Optimizes chemistry of the slag, removing impurities like sulfur, carbonates, manganese, etc. from the bath to improve steel quality
- Maintains the viscosity of the slag to increase heat yield
- Supports foaminess throughout the heat
- Controls the apparent viscosity of the slag, increasing the yield of the heat
Dolomitic
- Magnesium content prevents melt-throughs in the refractory
- Adds magnesium to the bath to balance refractory
- Protects the refractory
Hydrated Quicklime
- Provides a lubrication to the casting process to aid in easy removal
