During stainless steel smelting in the AOD (Argon Oxygen Decarburization) refining furnace, highly oxidative refining slag, chromium oxide slag and desulfurization slag are continuously formed on the surface of molten steel. Such slag is highly viscous and contains iron-chromium alloys. If the slag layer remains on the molten steel surface, it will seriously degrade stainless steel quality and reduce alloy yield. Therefore, rapid slag removal is required at different refining stages, and the dedicated hydraulic slag skimmer for AOD furnace is the special equipment for mechanized cleaning of floating slag at the furnace mouth.
Economic Benefit on Alloy Cost: The chromium recovery rate is increased by 3%~8%, greatly cutting the raw material consumption of stainless steel.
Production Efficiency: Hot online slag skimming shortens the smelting cycle of each furnace by 10 to 15 minutes.
Product Quality: Eliminate slag inclusion defects and improve the yield of high-grade stainless steel products.
Work Safety: Replace high-risk manual slag removal with remote automatic operation.
