Thermodynamics of SteelmakingAn Introduction

Prof. Joonho Lee, Korea University



What is Steelmaking? Steelmaking is composed of

“Basic Oxygen Steelmaking” and“Secondary Steelmaking”.

What are they?



WHAT IS

BASIC OXYGENSTEELMAKING?



Basic Oxygen Steelmaking The purpose of the Basic Oxygen Steelmaking

(BOS) is to refine the hot metal produced inthe blast furnace into raw liquid steel, which

may be subsequently refined in the secondary

steelmaking shop.

History of Steelmaking

Bessemer (1850):air blowing

Thomas (1879):basic (dolomitic)

lining and a basic

flux

At Linz and Donawitz

in Austria (1879):

oxygen blowing

Bottom blow oxygen

steelmaking process

(1970s): tuyeres wereprotected by propane

or natural gas, or fuel-

oil

Mixed blowing process

(late 1970s): Ar or N2

blowing from bottom

Hot metal

dephosphorization in

Japan (early 1980s):

adding CaO and iron

ore mixtures

WHAT IS

SECONDARYSTEELMAKING?



Solubility of Oxygen0.2 wt% O in liquid



Impurities? Carbon comes from cokes and refractory

Sulfur comes from cokes Phosphorus comes from iron ore

Nitrogen comes from atmosphere Hydrogen comes from water vapor

Oxygen comes from steelmaking

As the quality of resources decreases, the

amount of impurities increases!

Oxygen in Steel (Case Study)Fe(l) + O = FeO(s)

At a given temperature and for known slag

activity data, the value of hO can be calculated.From the activity of Al2O3, the value of hAl can

be calculaed.

Log hAl = log[wt%Al] + eAlAl [wt%Al] + eAl

C [wt%C] + eAlO [wt%O]

Log hO = log[wt%O] + eOAl [wt%Al] + eO

C [wt%C] + eOO [wt%O]

For a fixed value of [wt%C], it is possible to solve [wt%Al] and [wt%O].
