Abstract:Gas bubbling through a ladle shroud can be an effective approach for the removal of inclusions. However, an exposed eye of steel often appears in the slag cover surrounding the ladle shroud, owing to re‐surfacing bubbles leading to the formation of an exposed eye of steel, termed a “slag eye,” resulting in heat losses and re‐oxidation of the liquid steel. In order to control the formation of such a “slag eye” during gas injection into the shroud, a novel ladle shroud is employed to produce micro‐bubbles, as sm… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
