RESUMO
Secondary refining slag samples with different chemical compositions (45-54 % CaO, 7-13 % Al2O3, 20-29 % SiO2, 9-16 % MgO, 0-5 % CaF2) were investigated to verify the influence of their effective viscosity on inclusion cleanliness of DIN 38MnS6 in a steelmaking plant. The steel samples were collected during the production process for analysis of inclusions. Using the commercial software FactSage 6.4, thermodynamic calculations were performed to determine the effective viscosity, solid fraction, liquid fraction and MgO saturation point of these slags at 1560ºC. The results showed that all the slags were saturated in MgO, revealing a better protection of the ladle refractory. The addition of 2 to 5 % of CaF2 reduced the effective viscosity values for the analyzed slags from 0.45 Pa∙s to 0.10 Pa∙s , in comparison to the slags without the addition of CaF2, with an effective viscosity of 0.40 Pa∙s, 0.27 Pa∙s and 0.22 Pa∙s, decreasing the level of non-metallic inclusions for some of the analysed heats. However, it was detected during the manufacturing process that high slag fluidity and re-oxidation events continue to be a challenge associated with reducing the level of non-metallic inclusions.
