Abstract

See full text

It is known that a foamed slag can be produced on stainless steel melts in an electric arc furnace by introducing a mixture of metal oxides, limestone, carbon and a binder in the form of briquettes into the furnace so that the briquettes become arranged there in such a way that the metal oxides are reduced by the carbon and the limestone is thermally dissociated at the metal-slag interface beneath the slag and the resulting gases bring about foaming of the slag by bubble formation. This foaming on steels having a high chromium content, due to the significant uptake of chromium oxide by the slag, leads to problems which result from the physicochemical properties of slags having a high chromium oxide content. To provide, according to the invention, briquettes suitable for producing foamed slag having a high chromium oxide content, which is carried out, in particular by the process of WO 2010/003401 A1, all briquette properties to be taken into account and all materials suitable for briquette production are tabulated in the form of a matrix.
