Funded under

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

Total cost € 352 000,00

EU contribution € 211 200,00

Objective

This project will improve the performance of secondary steelmaking vessels, and develop techniques of process modelling, measurement and control. Bubbling and vacuum techniques will be employed for the production of super-clean steels. Convection and stirring parameters will be investigated to improve understanding of homogenization, and the effects of convection and bubble nucleation on inclusion removal will be studied. Control of slag, vacuum and temperature parameters will be improved. Research work will be carried out in the plant.
