Development of steel dehydrogenation conditions during out-of-furnace treatment of steel

Subject of investigation: process of steel out-of-furnace treatment on ladle-furnace plants. The work offers a method of the optimization of the out-of-furnace parameters and develops a physicochemical model of hydrogen behaviour in the atmosphere-slag-metal system. The investigation provides for the development of the procedure for determining the hydrogen content of liquid metal and alternates of processes of structural steel out-of-furnace treatment depending on the purpose of steel. The methods are introduced at Production Association Izhorsky Zavod and at plant Energomashspetsstal, the process is being used at Production Association Izhorsky ZavodAvailable from VNTIC / VNTIC - Scientific & Technical Information Centre of RussiaSIGLERURussian Federatio
