Objective

The general objectives of this project, focused on ladle change period, is to quantify the inclusion size distribution originating from ladle and tundish slags, to define a ladle change strategy in order to minimise ladle and tundish slag and finally to develop an on-line quality rating model for internal cleanness. The several axes of work and tools proposed by the partners, the combination of physical modelling, numerical modelling and in-situ trials are key-points for the success of present project. It is foreseen that the combination of the different approaches will lead to the definition of optimised process.
