Key Considerations

Several needs should be taken into consideration when selecting the right product for your BOF steelmaking needs:

  • Slag Chemistry
  • Phosphorus levels
  • Oxidation requirements

Several needs should be taken into consideration when selecting the right product for your EAF steelmaking needs:

  • Slag Chemistry
  • Nitrogen and hydrogen levels in the foamy slag
  • Oxidation requirements

Several needs should be taken into consideration when selecting the right product for your foundry operating with an EAF needs:

  • Slag chemistry
  • Nitrogen and hydrogen levels in the foamy slag
  • Oxidation requirements

Several needs should be taken into consideration when selecting the right product for your stainless steel needs:
