Conclusions
The possibility in principle of use of forsterite gas-permeable parts for purging of metal with inert gases in the steel teeming ladle has been established.
The wear of the forsterite tuyeres did not exceed the wear of porous parts of fused periclase.
The All-Union Refractory Institute and Nizhnetagil Metallurgical Combine are developing a rational method of production and are investigating the structural and physical properties of forsterite tuyeres.
