Improving deoxidation practices for ultra clean steel production

Project Information

Grant agreement ID: 7210-CC-808

Project closed

Start date 1 July 1995

End date 31 December 1998

Funded under

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

Total cost € 1 143 500,00

EU contribution € 686 100,00

Coordinated by

British Steel plc
United Kingdom

Objective

The overall objective of the research project is to increase product quality through improvement of steel cleanness and control of inclusion compositions to minimise product defects. Novel methods of deoxidation will be assessed theoretically and practically on the basis of co-addition of nucleants and control of deoxidation adjacent to inclusion-absorbing slags. In parallel, optimisation of ladle slag compositions will be developed on a production plant using pre-prepared fused slags.
