Filtration of liquid uphill casted steel

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. Currently, the research has been focused on the process of casting steel using the traditional uphill method. This paper analyzes the prepared and conducted experiments on a semi-industrial scale with the use of multi-hole ceramic filters. 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.
