Description
The primary steelmaking furnaces, such as Basic Oxygen steelmaking and Electric Arc Furnace are not capable of meeting high quality demands of some steel grades. This had lead to the growth of what is know as secondary steelmaking. This process is in charge of further refining of liquid steel after it is tapped into the ladle from the primary steelmaking furnace. In this module an overview of the secondary steelmaking process will be presented. Secondary steelmaking will be identified and its importance will be highlighted into the entire process of steelmaking. Finally, a special type of furnace will be introduced.
What you will learn
- Explain the overall purposes of Secondary Steelmaking.
- Distinguish the location of Secondary Steelmaking in the whole steel process;
- Identify the main parts of a Ladle Furnace.
