Objective
Vacuum ladle treatment is increasingly being used due to expansion of the demand for high performance steels. Availability and cycle time of the vacuum vessels have become of strategic importance for steel makers. Since the introduction of vacuum vessels, chromium-containing refractory materials have been used. Though these materials do not pose safety problems during use in the steel plant, their re-lining results in outbreak material that is hazardous to health and environment. The project intends both to investigate the (re)use of chromium spinel outbreak material and its substitution with a chromium-free alternative refractory material to be used as in-vacuum treatment vessels in the steel industry. In order to assure economical operating conditions and reduce or eliminate the use of chromium, alternative mining materials and recycling of the present materials will be also investigated. The results of this project are expected to reduce the costs of landfill and the environmental impact of the production cycle.
