KT Oxygen Lance

KT Oxygen Lance

Features:

  • l KT lances typically have a water-cooled copper or stainless steel body with a ceramic or refractory tip to withstand the extreme temperatures in the BOF.
  • l The lance design allows for flexibility in adjusting operating parameters to suit specific steelmaking requirements.
  • l Robust construction and advanced materials enable KT lances to operate reliably and withstand the harsh conditions of the steelmaking environment.

Description

Applications:

  • l KT oxygen lances are a crucial piece of equipment used in basic oxygen furnace (BOF) steelmaking processes to inject high-purity oxygen into the molten metal bath.
  • l The oxygen injection promotes rapid oxidation and removal of impurities like carbon, silicon, and other elements to refine the final steel composition.
  • l KT lances are widely adopted in modern steel mills around the world as an essential technology for efficient, high-productivity steelmaking.

Performances:

  • l The high-velocity oxygen stream injected by KT lances enables effective metal bath agitation and thorough refining of the steel.
  • l Precise control over oxygen flow rate, lance position, and injection angle allows steelmakers to optimize the process for different steel grades and production targets.
  • l Effective use of KT oxygen lancing can enhance productivity, improve steel quality, and reduce energy consumption compared to older steelmaking methods.
