FAQ
What type of equipment modification would be required to adapt standard steelmaking in an induction furnace to low phosphorous steel?
No additional investments are required. The NORPHOS™ solution allows customers to switch their production to low phosphorous steel by adding NORPHOS™ F 150 flux during melting operations.
Experienced installation teams are on hand help, guide or directly manage a dephosphorization stage during any operation.
What type of flux and refractory lining mix are recommended?
NORPHOS™ F 150 flux facilitates dephosphorization in induction furnaces by capturing the excess of phosphorous contained in steel, even at high temperatures of 1,550°C - 1,600°C.
NORPHOS™ works well in combination with the NORVIBE™ A 150 and/or NORVIBE™ A 1248 LG refractory linings, extending furnace campaign life while avoiding high reactivity due to chemical reactions common throughout the dephosphorization process.
