Optimization of the conditions of inert-gas blowing of a metallic melt

Abstract

Based on physical modeling and analytical estimation of the possibility (probability) of the coagulation of oxide nonmetallic inclusions in steel, it is concluded that pulsed feeding of an inert gas through a porous ladle bottom provides better conditions for the coagulation and emersion of inclusions than during traditional blowing through porous plugs. © 2013 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
