A technology for the fabrication of flux with the use of scrap from refractory articles is developed. Following preliminary grinding of the scrap and magnesian filler, briquettes are molded using the technology of semidry vibratory compacting. A mixture of magnesian and silicate hydraulic binder is used as the binder. Briquetted flux was tested at the metallurgical plant of EVRAZ ZSMK in the course of converter fusion. Positive reports about the tests are obtained.
