What is slag and how it can negatively impact your business?
In industrial steel processes, slag is a detrimental byproduct that forms during the refining of raw materials. It comprises various non-metallic substances, like oxides, sulfides, and silicates, which are present in the original raw material, but will diminish the quality of your steel after processing.
This is, however, just one of several issues with slag. Machinery is also affected by this material, because excessive slag accumulation can cause clogging of equipment and pipelines, leading to production delays and decreased overall efficiency in the steelmaking process.
