Strengthened scrap impact area in BOF converters

Objective

Excessive wear of the scrap impact area in BOF vessels has become a major problem for European steel maker as a consequence of enhancing product quality and higher productivity.

The objective of this project is to develop and assess a variety of innovative care techniques and innovative techniques for use of higher wear resistant refractory for the scrap impact area and for different types of BOF vessels.

With these techniques it will be possible to continue high scrap rate operations, use heavy internal scrap of known composition and maintain or increase converter campaign life. Converter operations will also become safer.
