METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SEPARATING SLAG AND POURING MOLTEN STEEL OUT OF A CONTAINER SUCH AS A CONVERTER OR THE LIKE

摘要

Abstract of the DisclosureMethod and apparatus for separating slag andpouring molten steel out of a container such as a converteror the like, which makes use of a gas jet member forjetting an inert gas into the flow of the molten steel ina descending portion of a U-shaped passage communicatedwith a molten steel outlet opening of the converter,whereby the gas jet causes the flow speed of the moltensteel to retard so as to eliminate the influence ofinertia force of the flow of the molten steel exerted toa balance between the static pressure of the residualmolten steel and the static pressure of the residual slagin the U-shaped passage.
