AN IMPROVED LANCE FOR LD STEELMAKING

摘要

An improved lance for LD steelmaking comprises a plurality of peripheral supersonic nozzles provided with a single inlet high pressure gas supply line and a central nozzle. The central nozzle is a subsonic nozzle provided with a separate low pressure gas supply line (1 ) independent of the high pressure gas supply line (2) for the peripheral nozzles. The flow rate through the central subsonic nozzle is controllable for varying generation of liquid metal droplets during the blow, according to the process requirement.
