Salzgitter improves LD converter (BOF) process with automation upgrade from Primetals Technologies
Primetals Technologies has recently implemented an upgrade of the LD converter (BOF) process optimization system at Salzgitter Flachstahl in Salzgitter, Germany. The new Slag Expert model has optimized the use of lime, improved the hitting rate – i.e. the amount of successful heats in terms of carbon content and steel temperature – and reduced the number of reblows.
