What is the purpose of lightly burned magnesium balls

Improving the viscosity and refractoriness of slag: Magnesium oxide in lightly burned magnesium balls is a high melting point mineral with a melting point of up to 2800. By increasing the content of magnesium oxide in the slag, the viscosity and refractoriness of the slag can be increased, making it easier for the slag to bond with the furnace lining, forming an effective slag protective layer, thereby improving the service life of the furnace lining and reducing consumption.

Adjusting the composition of slag: In the process of converter steelmaking and slag splashing for furnace protection, lightly burned magnesium balls serve as slag slag composition regulators, which can adjust the composition of slag according to needs, making it have appropriate viscosity and refractoriness. This is the key to implementing slag splashing for furnace protection.

Environmental protection and fire resistance: Light burned magnesium balls are favored in new industrial materials due to their advantages of fire resistance and environmental protection, and are widely used in industries such as chemical engineering, refractory materials, building materials, and desulfurization.

Improving the scrap steel ratio: The use of lightly burned magnesium balls is beneficial for increasing slag and scrap steel ratios, further optimizing the smelting conditions in the steel production process.

In summary, the application of lightly burned magnesium balls in the steel industry not only improves the converter life, but also optimizes the smelting process, making it an indispensable and important material in modern steel production.
