Ladle furnace slag disintegrates into fine powder during cooling due to phase transformations of di-calcium silicate. This creates an adverse impact on
Various types of silica source were used to prevent the disintegration of ladle furnace slag by reducing the basicity and optimizing the additives amount.
It is possible to prevent the destruction of the ladle lining by the action of fluorite and dicalcium silicate by replacing fluorite with an alumina additive
