Almix Prime In West Bengal

SOP (SYSTEM OF PROCESS / PROCEDURE)

During melting, steel scrap releases oxides and gases that destabilize the bath.

At high temperatures above 1540°C:

• Oxidation accelerates

• Increasing FeO content in slag

• Reducing metal recovery

SKMC Almix Prime reacts instantly with FeO and other oxides by:

• Improving slag fluidity

• Breaking slag into a light, foamy, detachable layer

• Assisting cleaner metal-slag separation

• Reducing energy demand

• Improving furnace efficiency

PROCESS GUIDELINES FOR USE

• Add 2.0–2.5 kg of SKMC Almix Prime per ton of molten metal (adjust according to furnace capacity).

• Ensure proper temperature (minimum 1600°C) before addition.

• Add product 5–10 minutes after slag formation begins.

• Stir the molten bath thoroughly for even distribution.

• Deduct 1.0–1.5 kg Mn per ton accordingly.

• Remove FeO in slag using 200 mesh-sized silica powder.

• For slag-rich FeO, increase dosage slightly for optimal results.

KEY BENEFITS OF SKMC ALLMIX PRIME

• Minimizes billet corner cracks and other mould-related surface defects.

• Eliminates oxide inclusions, resulting in purer and cleaner steel.

• Prevents blowholes and porosity in continuously cast billets.

• Enhances TMT coil quality with superior bonding strength.

• Saves approximately 1.5–5 kg Mn per ton of liquid metal through improved recovery.

• Produces light, easily removable slag for efficient refining.

• Increases FeO metallic recovery by reducing FeO content in slag.

• Reduces Mn loss during refining operations.

• Improves process temperature stability.

• Removes dissolved oxygen, reducing tundish and refractory wear.

• Achieves higher metal yield, smoother casting flow, and longer furnace campaign life.
