Abstract

Carbon is easily picked up on the slab surface from the mold flux in the ultra low carbon steel (ULCS). We were trying to find ways to prevent the C-pickup in ULCS. Naturally, we were interested in the C-pickup with slag pool thickness. When the slag pool thickness was increased up to about 30mm, C-pickup on the slab was dramatically decreased and the deviation in the width direction of the C-pickup was also decreased. However, even if the slag pool thickness was thicker, C-pickup was increased when slag bear was formed. More details will be discussed in the paper.
