Main functions of ladle refining furnace

1. The function of increasing the temperature of molten steel and heat preservation. The molten steel obtains new heat energy through arc heating, which not only enables the addition of alloy and composition adjustment during ladle refining, but also the addition of slag material, which is convenient for deep desulfurization and deoxidation of molten steel. Moreover, the molten steel starting temperature required for continuous casting is guaranteed, which is beneficial to the improvement of the quality of dry cast slabs.

2. Argon stirring function. The argon is blown into the molten steel through the breathable bricks installed at the bottom of the ladle, and the molten steel obtains a certain stirring function.

3. Vacuum degassing function. After the ladle is hoisted into the vacuum tank, the steam jet pump is used for vacuum degassing. At the same time, the molten steel is stirred by blowing argon at the bottom of the ladle to remove the hydrogen and nitrogen content in the molten steel, and further reduce the oxygen and sulfur content. Finally, higher purity molten steel and superior performance materials are obtained.

For the entire enterprise, the application of ladle refining furnace can at least increase the following benefits: speed up the production rhythm and improve the overall metallurgical production efficiency. Application field: Ladle refining furnace is widely used in industry, steel, metallurgy and other industries. The above is the main function of ladle refining furnace.
