Questions the Process Metallurgy Module Can Help You Answer
A plot from the Process Metallurgy Module showing the ratio of liquid slag to all slag in the system CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 (blue contour lines) and CaO-10 wt% CaF2-Al2O3-SiO2 (red contour lines) at 1600°C in equilibrium with a steel phase showing the extended liquid region on CaF2 addition.
The Process Metallurgy Module Allows You To
A plot from the Process Metallurgy Module showing the amount of sulfur in liquid steel in equilibrium with a CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 slag. The red colors in the upper right-hand corner at high silicon dioxide (SiO2) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) contents show that the steel contains high amounts of sulfur. This means that only a little of the sulfur in the liquid steel partitioned into the slag phase and tells us that the slag phase has a poor capacity to take up sulfur. The blue colors in the lower left-hand corner indicate that the liquid steel contains only very low amounts of sulfur, so this would indicate a slag composition that is very effective at removing sulfur, or in other words, has a high sulfur capacity.
