Optimising EAF Chromium oxide recovery and Oxygen Consumption for Duplex and Ferritic Stainless Steels
Key Takeaways Here are five key takeaways from this document: Problem: A client in Asia faced high oxygen and aluminium consumption in a 140-tonne EAF, leading to chromium losses in slag. Challenge: High operating costs due to inefficient raw material use and chromium losses. Solution: Reviewed and optimised EAF processes, including oxygen injection, charge mix, […]
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 […]
