Objective
The general objective of this project is to develop advanced methods and systems for on-line control of gas stirred ladle treatment processes. It should allow to improve refining reactions, removal of inclusions and homogenisation during alloying and to minimise slag entrapment and re-oxidation. The optimisation of the steel-making conditions will lead to an increase of the yield of addition (of about 20%); to an increase of the product quality (by 25%); and to an increase of the length of casting sequences (of about 25%). Different sensors will be used and compared in terms of resolution and performance. Different ladle scales will be used to be able to define general rules for metal uncovering and optimum working conditions of sensors. Soft stirring metal inclusion removal and strong stirring for alloying will be considered.
