Abstract

THE PERFORMANCE OF A STEEL SHOP DEPENDS ON THE STABILITY OF ITS PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT, AND THE COMBINED BLOWING IS ESSENTIAL TO GUARANTEE THE CHEMICAL HOMOGENEITY OF THE STEEL, REDUCING THE TOTAL IRON OF SLAG (METALLIC YIELD), AS WELL AS INCREASING THE DEPHOSPHORIZATION RATE. THE COMBINED BLOWING SYSTEM CONSISTS OF THE ASSEMBLY OF TUYERES FOR INJECTION OF INERT GASES FROM THE BOTTOM. DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY, OPERATING CONDITIONS AND PRESERVATION TECHNIQUES, THIS SYSTEM BEHAVES DIFFERENTLY. THIS WORK SOUGHT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A MONOBLOC TUYERES SYSTEM, WITH OPERATIONAL PARAMETERS ADJUSTED FOR THE OPERATION OF THE USIMINAS STEELWORKS, AS WELL AS OPERATIONAL MONITORING. RESULTING IN AN INCREASE IN THE LIFE OF THE TUYERES, WITH PROVEN EFFICIENCY IN REDUCING THE LEVEL OF OXIDATION IN THE STEEL BATH.
