Optimising AOD Chemical Composition of Duplex Stainless Steel

Key Takeaways Problem: A stainless steel producer in Southeast Asia faced quality issues due to non-optimised chemical compositions, leading to frequent casting defects. Challenge: Needed to optimise chemical composition to ensure consistent product quality. Solution: Adjusted desulphurisation and decarburisation steps and proposed SOP modifications for better chemical control. Improvements: Reduced steel sulphur content, controlled hydrogen […]
