Abstract
Accumulated experience shows that one can increase the resistance of converter linings in various ways, with the largest effect from the use of self-decomposing magnesium materials in the form of granules or briquettes. The advantage of these materials comes from the presence of hydrated or carbonate components producing explosive decomposition on entry into the converter slag, with the slag rapidly saturated in MgO, with an increase in viscosity and the formation of a stable lining.
