Abstract

B2O3 is employed as fluxing agent of CaO-SiO2-Fe2O3 steelmaking slags to substitute for CaF2. The influences of B2O3 and CaF2 on the melting properties of this system slags were investigated and compared. The results indicate that the fluxing effect of B2O3 is more remarkable than that of CaF2. Therefore, B2O3 promotes the dissolution of CaO, SiO2 and 2CaO•SiO2, etc, then the slagging speed can be improved greatly. The melting temperatures of slags increase with the increasing of basicity, especially, when CaF2 is used as fluxing agent as well as the basicity is up to 5.0, the melting temperature is increased higher than 1420°C. These characteristics of boron-containing slgas are more suitable for steelmaking process than those of fluoride-containing slags.
