Abstract

The blow ignition is the event that starts the reactions inside the converter. An event that lasts longer than seconds, but also responsible for long delays when not achieved immediately. Misfires, in addition to being time consuming, are one of the causes of premature failure in lance tips. This article investigates and proposes actions to mitigate this event.
