FactSageTM software is used successfully in the Gruppa Magnezit engineering section making it possible to calculate thermodynamic equilibria in multicomponent systems, to construct phase diagrams, and to calculate viscosity in molten slags and glasses, etc. Use of specialized software makes it possible to both analyze premature wear of linings, and also the preliminary selection of refractory compositions, slag modifiers or directly for slag regimes optimum from the point of view of fulfilling metallurgical tasks and reducing refractory specific consumption. Modeling results are provided for processes occurring within ferrous and nonferrous metallurgy units.
