Systems for the ladle processing of steel part 2. Vacuum processes

  • Published:
Steel in Translation Aims and scope

Abstract

Methods for the ladle treatment of steel in vacuum are briefly reviewed, and the potential of various options is explored. For the most widely used systems, the classification, basic parameters, system composition, design features, problems, and prospects are outlined. Approaches developed at the Russian Scientific-Research Institute of Metallurgical Machinery are briefly described, and some equipment and specific designs developed at the institute are presented.
