Modern steelmaking is classified into two categories: primary and secondary. Nowadays, secondary steelmaking units have become an essential part of the integrated steel plants to supply sophisticated grade of steel for continuous casting.
The slag cover protects the metal and matte from oxidation and prevents heat losses due to its poor thermal conductivity. In order to achieve these objectives, slag must possess a certain optimum level of physical properties, such as low melting point, low viscosity, low surface tension, and high diffusivity; and chemical properties, such as basicity, oxidation potential, and …
The growth of electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking in North America has occurred mainly in the past 40 years due to low electricity prices, an abundance of steel scrap (especially near large population centers), and the development of mini and macro steel mills based on metal recycling. Scrap availability and price has made steel produced by remelting in …
This book an updated, second edition retains its classroom-tested treatment of physical chemistry of metallurgical topics, such as roasting of sulfide minerals, matte smelting, and interfacial phenomena; and adds new data in worked-out …
Steel is made from iron by removing impurities and adding substances such as manganese, chromium, nickel, tungsten, molybdenum, and vanadium to produce alloys with properties that make the material suitable for specific uses.
This book presents the fundamentals of iron and steel making, including the physical chemistry, thermodynamics and key concepts, while also discussing associated problems and solutions. It guides the reader through the production process from start to finish, covers the raw materials, and addresses the types of processes and reactions involved in both …

Scrap can be of various qualities, depending upon the grade to be cast. In addition, other iron units, which are purer than scrap—for example, iron produced from iron ore that contains carbon (a pig iron) or a product called hot briquetted iron (HBI) from direct reduction of iron ore—can be added, if very high-quality steels are to be produced that require strict chemistry control.
This book presents the fundamentals of iron and steel making, including the physical chemistry, thermodynamics and key concepts, while also discussing associated problems and solutions.
Steelmaking is a process of selective oxidation of impurities, which is the reverse of ironmaking. ... This chapter discusses the physical chemistry of sulfur, phosphorus, silicon, manganese, and carbon reactions to derive optimum conditions for desulfurization, dephosphorization and also for recovery of silicon and manganese. These ...
Steelmaking process can generally be classified into four main different routes including blast furnace/basic oxygen furnace (BF-BOF), direct reduction/electric arc furnace (DRI-EAF), …
The gelation performance of the modified steelmaking slags is improved, especially in steelmaking slags modified with 10% blast furnace slag at 1550℃. When the content of 2CaO·SiO2 and 3CaO·SiO2 increase significantly and the f-CaO content decreases to 1.64%, the modified slags meet the requirements for ...
