The SoudOxAr ® Mono supersonic axial injection lance tip has been developed to combine preservation of refractory lining with rapid and uniform decarburization, by the use of a single high density central tuyere in AOD conversion.
The single supersonic jet is custom-calculated to feed the gas into the heart of the bath providing a considerable transfer of energy. It is a tool for the stability of metallurgic results and durability of refractory lining.
Quicker decarburization
The injection tuyere specially designed to produce a jet with high density kinetic energy provides agitation and chemical reactivity in the bath.
- Greater kinetic and chemical agitation
- Uniformity of bath composition
- Extensive penetration and convection of gas
Reduced Maintenance
A lance head with low level degradation conserves concentrated blowing capacity that does not affect the refractory lining, providing distinct penetration and few projections.
- Increased service life
- Few projections
- Insignificant effect on refractory lining wear
Flexibility
It is a tool designed to be adapted to operating conditions in each steel plant, whilst tolerating the usual variations in the blowing pattern.
- Tolerance of a large range of oxygen/argon dilution
- Adapted to different sizes of converter
- An oxygen/gas burner configuration can be designed
