Increased Stainless Steel Melt Shop Yield by Improved Converter Tap Weight Management

Scrap melting in the converter is a vital tool for energy management and tap temperature control. Tapping of highest possible weight from the converter without superseding ladle capacity is a target in high capacity stainless steel melt shops. This paper discusses the fundamentals of using superheated steam in stainless steel refining, and demonstrates how the access to steam enables improved tap weight management.
