Steelmaking slags aren′t a mystery

Steelmaking slags aren′t a mystery

Steelmaking slags aren′t a mystery. They′re the result of interactions of forces of nature, looking for the holy grail of equilibrium. Everything catalyzed by the action of temperature. It′s the realm of thermodynamics. Forget those “slag experts” who arrive at your plant gates with a briefcase of prêt à porter solutions under their arms. With some arcane secrets that only they know, leaving some generic recommendations and going away, without committing themselves to the outcomes/consequences of their advice. Also leaving you without any clue/power for dealing with the issue they′ve addressed. It doesn′t make any sense for the complexity of the steelmaking process. You can have the keys for directing these forces like an orchestra, by just knowing what′s behind all these reactions. The understanding of some key phase diagrams (binary, ternary or quaternary) can enable you to dive into the magic of the interactions of the main oxides which form steelmaking slags. It′s an exercise of freedom. You can have this power at your fingertips. Why don′t you investigate e-tech tools following the link below?
