Abstract

One of the ways to increase the competitiveness of domestic products on the world market of ferrous metallurgy is to increase the efficiency of steelmaking units and the quality of products or product by minimizing the amount of furnace slag in a steel pouring ladle. The latter is achieved through continuous monitoring, mainly visual, of the melt flow at the stage of its release from the bath of the oxygen converter into the steel pouring ladle. The work presents the results of experimental studies and statistical processing of data sets of the intensity of infrared radiation from the melt flow on existing steelmaking units in various technological ranges of steel production. It has been proved that as a diagnostic sign of the presence of slag in the produced melt, one can apply the mathematical expectation of infrared radiation of the melt. Diagnostic conditions for observing slag in the produced melt are determined by the change in the radiation intensity. A technique and an algorithm for calculating the diagnostic conditions for observing slag in the melt for domestic oxygen converters are proposed. The results of industrial testing of the research results are presented.
