Abstract

In the frame of the business plan, an important process work is done in order to increase the steelmaking tool productivity, quality levels and reliability. This paper presents the results obtained at ARCELOR MITTAL Fos sur mer steelmaking plant in the field of the converter process improvement. Production of high quality steel is a crucial objective for the industry. The Fos steel plant is involved in the production of high yield strength steel and pipe grade steel. This paper describes the work carried out in the converter area in order to achieve the lowest phosphorus content in the best economical condition. The work performed has involved some work on the converter core model in order to improve its accuracy, robustness and to implement new phenomenological description of the metal – slag interactions.
