SECONDARY METALLURGY: ALT/H-ALT

The solutions offered by Paul Wurth in secondary metallurgy improve the steel quality and its economy of manufacture.

The Paul Wurth ladle treatment and reheating stations can incorporate :

  • stirring by porous plug (see automatic coupling) or by lance
  • powder injection or wire injection (ALT)
  • automatic lance coupling and automatic lance exchange
  • controlled composition adjustment under a refractory bell
  • reheating by electricity (LF), or by Al or FeSi combusted by oxygen
    under a rotating refractory bell (HALT)
  • powder spreader for steel ladles

    Process and equipment are designed for :

  • reliable and safe operation
  • accurate adjustment of composition and temperature
  • low operation cost as concerns consumable parts like refractory bells and lances
  • highly automated operation
