NO SHOW: Kinetic Model Development to Predict Steel and Slag Composition in Bearing Steels

Fatigue life of bearing steels predominantly depends on steel cleanliness. A kinetic model through EERZ approach using FactSage 8.1 was applied to predict the chemical composition of steel and slag during different stages of the bearing steelmaking process. The kinetic model developed can calculate changes in (1) composition of each element in the molten steel, (2) composition of each element in the molten slag phase, and (3) the nature of inclusions resulting from the compositional variation of steel and slag. The calculated results agree with the operational results of the 65-ton ladle refining process of JSW Steel Ltd. Salem Works.
