Proceedings from the 4th European Academic Symposium on EAF Steelmaking, 16-18 June 2021, Aachen
Resource as well as energy efficiency is one of the most important factors for economical success in today’s highly competitive steel making industry. To reach a maximum energy efficiency an effective raw material procurement, motivated employees, modern equipment and last but not least the optimized process control is the key to success. In order to monitor the steelmaking process, a variety of measures and sensors have been introduced in the past. However, the composition of the slag, which is much more important for process control than the analysis of the actual steel itself, could not be analyzed quickly enough to correct the process within the required time. Especially in the electric furnace, important information like the basicity or content of elements like Cr, S and F is missing.
