Abstract

The features of slag cutoff in the process of 300-ton melt reladle are considered. It is shown that the efficiency of slag cutoff can change substantially depending on the pouring scheme (one or two open sliding shutters). Steel reladle enables to lower the sulfur content considerably with the use of relatively low-cost and not scarce slag-forming mixture.
