Modeling Study of Steel–Slag–Inclusion Reactions During the Refining of Si–Mn Killed Steel

Complex deoxidation by Si and Mn is beneficial for certain steel long products since it leads to the formation of low‐temperature melting manganese silicates. However, the introduction of Al via steel–slag reactions can lead to unwanted inclusion formation, which can cause nozzle clogging down the process line. To simulate steel–slag–inclusion reactions during the refining of steel, a kinetic model based on the mass transfer of steel species …
