Abstract

See full text

According to this process: the position in respect of height of the 'molten metal (2)/liquid slag (3)' interface (M) is continuously determined. Further the position of an isotherm (IS) located at the 'liquid slag (3)/powder layer (4)' interface is continuously determined by automatically controlling the position of a thermocouple (8) on this isotherm and by measuring the displacements of this thermocouple. By comparing the position in respect of height of the molten metal/liquid slag interface (M) with the position in respect of height of the isotherm (IS), the thickness and thus the variations in thickness of the liquid slag are continuously deduced.
