Flux for electric arc furnace

image

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).

FluMag
advantages

An effective and technologically simple replacement for complex magnesian fluxes that contain dolomite and magnesite
Quickly increases magnesium
oxide content in slag
Improves slag foaming
Builds an efficient wear-resistant slag layer on furnace lining during metal tapping
Improves furnace lining durability
Reduces the cost of steel

Other applications

01
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.
02
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.
