Quality of Slag
Key parameters used to assess the quality of slag:
1.Chemical Composition
2.Melting Point
3.Viscosity
4.Stability
5.Impurity Removal
6.Environmental Impact

Classified of Slag
In slag systems,
1. Basic Slag
A basic oxide generates O2- anion
Example Basic oxides: CaO, MgO, FeO etc
Example Acid Oxides: SiO2, P205 , Al2O3, CaF2 etc
2. Acid Slag
An acid oxide forms a complex anion by accepting one or
more O2- anions

Basicity of Slag
• Basicity index
Basicity index is generally defined as the ratio of the total weight
percent of the basic oxides to the total weight percent of the acid
oxides.

3. Tunjukkan titik untuk diagram terner antara
CaO-FeO-SiO2 (gambar disamping)
Pada jumlah CaO (dalam %) adalah 2 nomor
NPM terakhir
Jumlah CaO-FeO-SiO2 harus 100 persen, nilai
lainnya mengikuti.
Contoh:
Nomor npm terakhir adalah 72
CaO=72%
FeO=10%
SiO2=18%
Tunjukkan titik atau posisi pada diagram terner
tersebut sesuai komposisi diatas!

Slag and steel
Slag significantly effects the quality and the properties of the steel.
Proper slag formation is a crucial part in clean steelmaking as in the old
proverb:
“Take care of your slag, the steel will take care of itself”.
