DEVELOPMENT AND OPTIMIZATION OF THE DESIGN OF FOUR-NOZZLE OXYGEN FURNACES FOR LARGE-CAPACITY CONVERTERS OPERATING IN OVERHEATING CONDITIONS

Abstract

Many years of operation of top-blown converters have convincingly demonstrated their advantages, including high productivity, the ability to process cast irons of various chemical compositions, the relative simplicity of the equipment, the relatively high durability of the lining, and the ability to consistently produce low-carbon metals.
