Flux for electric arc furnace

FluMag^® flux with a high magnesium oxide content is used to improve the durability of the lining in modern electric steelmaking furnaces (electric-arc furnaces).

In an electric-arc furnace FluMag^® is used to accelerate basic slag formation and to build a wear-resistant slag layer on the lining (Patent No. 2645170 RU).

Other applications

Flux for converters

FluMag^® increases the level of magnesium oxide
in the slag and forms a hard-wearing layer of slag
skull on the converter lining in order to make it more durable.

Flux for blast furnace

When used in agglomeration and blast-furnace production, FluMag^® results in slag with ideal metallurgical properties, increasing the quality
of the agglomerate and nuggets and the effectiveness
of the cast iron smelting.
