Take the purity of your steel to new heights with this simple change
Slag carryover is directly related to low-grade steel, as it causes phosphorus to be redeposited, which affects the purity of the steel. It also increases wear on the refractory ladle lining, which ultimately leads to critical damage to your equipment.
Fortunately, slag control is a solvable task thanks to modern technology. As the video shows, by supporting the converter process with an IR-system you can clearly identify slag as red specks in the molten steel. With this information, you can arrange a shutdown of the process at the right time, which can be automated as well.
Our Selmatec solution aims to make slag detection even easier. By using our dedicated software with the high-resolution ThermoView TV40 camera, you get an intuitive system that alerts in real time when the slag content exceeds the allowable limit. With its user-friendly and scalable design, we guarantee that you will have no problems adjusting the settings or implementing additional tools/features as you see fit.
