The influence of slenderness of ceramic filters on the efficiency of steel refining
Abstract
The results presented in this paper are the next planned stage of research on the process of steel refining from dispersoid non-metallic phase by means of its filtration. The acquired results of macro and microstructure anlyzes, as well as steel cleanliness before and after the filtration process, reflect the course of the research and attest that it can be an effective and cheap method of refining it from non-metallic inclusions. Presented results confirm that the slenderness of a filter has a significant impact on the effectiveness of the steel filtration process. Products of deoxidation have been identified on the filtration surface of ceramic filters.
