Usage and effectiveness
Operation performance > Ceramic Part > Tap hole plug > Usage and effectiveness
A tap hole plug improves the steel quality and reduces aluminum deoxidization of alloy in the ladle, ensuring the slag floatation time through formation of in-core pooling during the converter tilting
- 1) minimization of slag forming in early refining process
- 2) effective slag control improves the durability of refractories used for the tap hole, ladle and secondary refining process by preventing the refractories’ from erosion
- 3) Eco-friendly to prevent air contaminants from the tap hole
- 4) Protecting the BOF (Basic Oxygen Furnace) tap hole
- 5) Extending the BOF tap hole
- 6) Protecting spiting in the early BOF process, enhancing the ladle life
- 7) Ensuring the safety of operators by protecting spiting during the BOF process
