Fighting Rust: Predicting How Different Slags Re-Oxidize Ultra-Low Carbon Steel
This study developed a kinetic model to predict the re-oxidation behavior of ultra-low carbon steel under different oxidizing slag conditions. The model, validated with experimental data, showed that increasing slag oxidation increases oxygen transfer to the steel and inclusion formation, while higher basicity slags can reduce inclusions and improve steel purity. The research also reveals how inclusion types and morphologies evolve during the re-oxidation process.
Possible Conflicts of Interest
None identified
Identified Weaknesses
Limited Real-World Applicability
The study relies on a kinetic model and laboratory thermal simulation, which may not fully capture the complexities of real-world steelmaking processes.
The model validation is based on a limited set of experimental data, potentially affecting the generalizability of the findings.
Limited Scope of Slag Compositions
The study focuses on specific slag compositions and basicity ranges, potentially limiting the applicability of the findings to other steelmaking scenarios.
Rating Explanation
This study provides valuable insights into the re-oxidation behavior of ultra-low carbon steel using a kinetic model and experimental validation. While the model's real-world applicability and generalizability could be further explored, the research offers a strong basis for optimizing secondary oxidation control in steelmaking.
