Funded under

• Medium-term guidelines for the ECSC steel RTD programme of research and pilot/demonstration projects, 1996-2002

Total cost € 486 500,00

EU contribution € 291 900,00

Objective

The aim of this project is to minimize recarburization during ULC steel production in ladle, tundish and casting systems in order to obtain carbon contents below the 20 ppm so often required nowadays. Work will examine the kinetics of recarburization by refractory material and fluxes by means of practical experimentation in steel-making plants and also in the laboratory. Materials to be examined in detail include carbon-bonded refractories based on magnesia, dolomite and alumina as well as fluxes.
