Optimizing the production of steel with reduction by aluminum, in casting and rolling systems

Steel in Translation Aims and scope

Abstract

Data on the metallurgical defects in pipe show that they may be due to nonmetallic oxide inclusions. Analysis of the formation of oxide inclusions from smelting to the continuous casting of steel shows that, in order to reduce the incidence of such defects, additional measures must be taken in the smelting and ladle treatment of the steel. Such measures reduce the content of oxide inclusions in the steel by half. The benefits of this approach are confirmed by the reduced rejection rate of the pipe on account of defects associated with the presence of nonmetallic inclusions.
