CONCLUSION • The cost of the ladle treatment for de phosphorization
in today’scost structure is roughly Rs 16-1800 /ton
• Ladle treatment for de phosphorization is a new of steel
concept to treat induction furnace melted steel with
high P • The potential of the process lies in utilizing induction
furnace melted steel at the same level of many
• The metallurgy of P reduction can well be performed applications compared to steels from primary steel
in ladle Furnace with simple designing of the making route
process through development of a high Fe0 and
high basicity slag • Expertise/technical knowhow is now available to
establish this process in plants having stand alone
• It is possible to achieve a reduction of P by nearly 70 induction furnace melting using high amount of
% on a sustainable basis
cDRI
• The process does not interfere with the IF output REFERENCES
and long sequence casting can be achieved

• The other derived advantage is the potential for a
S reduction as well though primary purpose of the 2- JUNE, 2018 - DHWTY-Wootz Steel: The Mysterious
