A Model for Slag Eyes in Steel Refining Ladles Covered with Thick Slag
Abstract
During inert gas stirring in steel ladles, the overlying slag is pushed to the side by the rising gas-metal plume, resulting in an open eye of exposed steel. The present work is devoted to the modeling of ladle eyes in a bath covered with a thick slag layer, where the eyes formed are often smaller than the cross-section of the gas-metal plume. A mathematical model is developed from fundamental fluid flow considerations by extending a previous …
