Abstract
As a means of effecting better control of end-point temperatures at the Jones & Laughlin oxygen furnace plant, a set of mathematical equations has been developed. These are the product of a thermochemical analysis of the process and are designed to calculate the required scrap, lime, and hot metal additions in terms of a number of independent variables. Results of test heats were encouraging enough to warrant adoption of this technique by the production dept.
