Abstract in another language
During stainless steelmaking in an electric arc furnace (EAF), chromium concentrations at tapping should be well pre-estimated for some reasons. Both excessively low and high chromium concentrations require rebalancing procedures with ferro-alloys, e.g. HC-FeCr or FeNi, which decreases liquid steel temperature and EAF energy efficiency. Excessive chromium input also retards the decarburisation and dephosphorisation processes. A new strategy is outlined in this paper to obtain higher energy and raw materials efficiencies, higher productivity, lower electrode consumption, less thermal load on the EAF’s wall, less refractory wear, and a lower production cost. In the mean time, the steel industry is also facing a challenge on how to increase the productivity and decrease the CO2 emissions at the same time. This paper provides a single solution to address both challenges since the result of research study outlined in this paper provides an opportunity to significantly decrease the indirect CO2 emissions generated during production of alloy materials, slag additives, and electricity.
