Effects of Operating Methods on AOD Furnace Lining


         During the process of steel making, the operating methods have great influence on AOD furnace lining.
The motion path of gas come from side gas gun is like a parabola. There is a highest point of the parabola, after the point, the gas begins to fall down, and then the lining will be scoured heavily by the gas. Therefore, during the blowing, the furnace body should lean at an angle of 6-8°.
Besides, controlling gas pressure and blowing amount of inner and outer gas gun is quite important for stable operation. Improper control, abnormal growing of umbrella shaped things because of overcooling, and rise of back pressure are essential elements for control. As fire point is too close to the side wall, it will lead to overheat of place around tuyere, and finally bring about trumpet-shaped melting loss of refractories.
