Objective
More than 90% of the yearly production of steel in Europe is cast in continuous and approximately 70% of it is subjected to secondary metallurgy where metallurgical gas is introduced into the heat via stirring elements. The heats are homogenised, the metallurgical reactions accelerated and the degree of cleanliness improved. The project's aim is to improve the reliability and efficiency of the stirring process. Different stirring systems will be investigated with regard to their reliability, efficiency and wear. Rules regarding maintenance, servicing and selection will be derived from such investigations and the change of the stirring element will be facilitated.
