Flux for converters

FluMag^® flux with a high magnesium oxide content is used when making steel in converters in order to increase the magnesium oxide content in slag and to increase the service life of lining of the converter.

FluMag^® is added to material charge during converter operation (Patent No. 107540) and after completing oxygen lancing of metal before steel discharge in order to saturate working and remaining slag with magnesium oxide, and also during slag blowing with nitrogen in order to build a high-strength slag layer on lining (Patent No. 2620217 RU). It can be effectively applied in combined blowing steelmaking converters.

FluMag
advantages

An effective, high-tech replacement for compound magnesium fluxes containing dolomite and magnesite

Low levels of impurities

Strong structure, which reduces losses during transportation and storage

Extends the service life of the converter lining by up to 30%,
and increases productivity

Reduces the cost of hot gun
repair to the converter lining

Reduces the production cost of steel, increases the quality of the smelted steel
