Advances in ladle metallurgy

钢包冶金是炼钢和铸造之间的工艺步骤的名称;它通常涉及气体搅拌，气体或炉渣化学精炼，热均匀化和夹杂物改性和去除的组合。 它是在钢包（一个垂直的圆柱形容器，包含100至250吨钢）中进行的。 钢包冶金是调整钢的成分的最后机会;因此，它是制造高质量钢的关键。 世界上大多数钢铁厂都有钢包冶金。 该项目旨在开发可用于更好地控制这些过程的过程的数学模型。 钢铁工业是加拿大经济的一个重要部门，我们一直通过我们的麦克马斯特钢铁研究中心与他们密切合作，向他们转让这种技术。

Ladle Metallurgy is the name given to processing steps between steelmaking and casting; it usually involves combinations of gas stirring, chemical refining with gas or slag, thermal homogenization and inclusion modification and removal. It is performed in a ladle (a vertical cylindrical vessel containing 100 to 250 tonnes of steel). Ladle Metallurgy is the last opportunity to adjust the composition of the steel; thus, it is crucial for making high-quality steel. Most steel plants in the world have Ladle Metallurgy. This project seeks to develop mathematical models of the process that can be used for better control of these processes. The steel industry is an important sector in the Canadian economy, and we have been working closely with them through our McMaster Steel Research Centre to transfer such technology to them.
