Objective
In view of the fact that porous plugs are extremely vulnerable points in a converter, owing to the risks of leakage, it is absolutely essential to evaluate their wear on a constant basis. In this project, three electrodes with well-known but different properties will be inserted into the refractories and the variations in their erosion - and therefore also in that of the refractories themselves - will be determined with the aid of an appropriate connection system. Preliminary tests will be conducted for the purpose of selecting the materials to be used. A prototype will then be built, and - with the aid of a microcomputer - a programme will be drawn up and tested in real-service conditions on an industrial converter.
