  5. 4. Dissolution of Cored Wire in Steel Melt : Optimization of Feeding Rate

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Hagen Christian Hagens; [2022]
    Keywords : Cored wire injection · light alloy addition · feed rate optimization · inclusions modification · finite difference method;

    Abstract : Calcium treatment is an established operation in the production of steels. Most importantly, it serves to modify detrimental inclusions in the melt for improved castability and superior product properties. Due to calcium’s low melting point and high vapour pressure, its addition to liquid steel is challenging and yields are generally low. READ MORE
