Abstract

ThyssenKrupp Stahl operates four blast furnaces with a hot metal production of up to 12 million tons per year in total. To minimize the costs in the cast house operation and to optimize the tapping performance, measures were taken to prolong the lifetime of the refractory lining of the troughs by a supreme effort. Extensive technical measures in the total cast house area with the aim of best economical efficiency were taken. This report shows the effects for the cast houses of the big Schwelgern furnaces.
