Objective
Objective of the project is to increase energy efficiency and productivity during EAF stainless steel making by slag foaming and adjusted use of all available energy sources. By means of different slag conditioning techniques and foaming additives foamy slag practise shall be established in dependence on available injection technologies, tapping procedures and decarburisation requirements resulting from post treatment technology (AOD, VOD).
Based on slag foaming advantages, energy efficiency during EAF stainless steel production shall be increased by using the mainly exothermic chemical reactions, higher power input by high impedance operation and adjusted utilisation of both chemical and electrical energy in dependence on melting time. The proposed research is in complete accordance with the strategy priority "Direct and alternative input of energy in the electric arc furnace" and is specially supported by the ESTEP Working Group 1 "Profit".
