The manufacture of high chromium steel using high oxygen and carbon injection rates

Project Information

Grant agreement ID: 7210-CB-412

Project closed

Start date 1 July 1991

End date 31 December 1993

Funded under

• Medium-term guidelines (ECSC) for the programmes of technical steel research and of steel pilot/demonstration projects, 1991-1995

Total cost € 777 500,00

EU contribution € 466 500,00

Objective

The aim of this research project is to study the possibility of using high oxygen and carbon injection rates and modified charge composition in the production of stainless steel. Injection of large quantities of oxygen provide both heat and improved stirring, while carbon prevents oxidation of chromium. Inert gas injection techniques will also be studied.
