Abstract: | <p> The dominant slag-metal reaction site in AC electro-slag remelting (ESR) has been directly determined by estimating the rate of sulphur transfer at the electrode tip/slag and metal pool/slag interfaces. In this investigation, negligible sulphur transfer has been assumed at the droplet/slag interface, and the basis for such assumption is discussed. Using a 5.825" diameter mould and CaF2-CaO slags, it has been established that the electrode tip/slag interface is the dominant reaction site. Calculations indicate that the pool sulphur is close to equilibrium with the slag. The importance of all six reaction sites in AC ESR are discussed. The results indicate the importance of the slag/atmosphere interface, especially when using slags of low lime content. Conventonal overall sulphur balances have been carried out and the results are in agreement with the rates obtained at the different interfaces, thus indicating internal consistency of the results. </p> |
