The use effect and precautions of converter slag blocking balls

1.挡渣球的基本原理    I the basic principal of skimming slag ball 

挡渣球是一种广泛应用于金属冶炼领域的重要设备，主要用于去除熔炼过程中产生的渣滓。

挡渣球是通过放置在炉内的特殊球体来实现对渣滓的去除。其基本原理是利用渣滓与挡渣球的形状和重量差异，使渣经过挡渣球时受到阻拦从而将渣滓留在炉内，保证熔炼过程的顺利进行。

The skimming slag ball  is an important equipment widely used in the field of metal smelting, mainly used to remove the slag produced during the smelting process.

The skimming slag ball   is realized by placing a special ball inside the furnace. Its basic principle is to use the shape and weight difference between the steel slag  and skimming slag ball, so that  the steel slag is blocked when it passes through the  skimming slag ball, thus leaving the steel  slag in the furnace and ensuring the smooth progress the smelting process.

2  挡渣球的使用效果    II  the effect of  skimming slag ball 

1.渣滓去除
挡渣球的最主要作用是去除熔炼过程中产生的渣滓。在冶炼过程中，不可避免地会生成各种含有害金属和非金属的渣，挡渣球的正确使用能够有效提高去渣的效率，防止渣滓留在金属中，提高产品质量。

2.减少生产能耗

渣滓的存在会增加熔炼过程的能耗，挡渣球的使用可以有效减少渣滓的形成，从而降低能源消耗。此外，挡渣球能够帮助控制炉内温度分布，提高能源利用效率。

3.增加产品收率
挡渣球的正确放置可以有效地降低渣滓对产品的污染，提高产品收率渣滓的存在常常会导致产品纯度下降，挡渣球的使用能够减少渣滓的生成，提高产品的质量和产量。

4 延长设备使用寿命
渣滓的积累会对设备造成磨损和腐蚀，挡渣球的使用能够有效降低渣滓对设备的侵蚀。挡渣球可以在渣滓侵蚀的位置形成一层保护层，延长设备的使用寿命，减少维修和更换成本。

1. Slag Removal
The most important function of the slag block is to remove the slag generated during the smelting. During the smelting process, it is inevitable to generate various slags containing harmful metals and non-metals. Proper use of the slag block can effectively improve efficiency of slag removal, prevent slag from remaining in the metal, and improve product quality.

2. Reduce Production Energy Consumption
The presence of slag increase the energy consumption during the smelting process. The use of skimming slag ball  can effectively reduce the formation of slag, thereby reducing energy consumption. In addition, the skimming slag ball can help control the temperature distribution in the furnace, improving the energy utilization efficiency.

3. Increase Product Yield
Proper placement of the skimming slag ball  can effectively decrease the pollution of products by steel slag, increasing the product yield. The presence of  skimming slag ball  often leads to a decrease in product purity. The use of a  skimming slag ball   can reduce generation of slag and improve the quality and yield of products.

4. Extend Equipment Lifespan
The accumulation of slag can cause wear and corrosion to the furnace. The use of a  skimming slag ball  can effectively reduce the erosion of slag on the equipment. The slag block can form a protective layer at the position of slag erosion extending the service life of the equipment and reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

三、挡渣球的使用注意事项  III precautions for the use of the skimming slag ball 
1.良好的球形度
挡渣球的球形度是影响其作用效果的关键因素之一。使用前应检查球体的球形度，确保其形状与规格要求相符。球面应光滑，无裂纹或明显破损。

2. 正确的放置位置

挡渣球的放置位置直接影响其去渣效果。应根据炉型和工艺要求，在炉内合适的位置放置挡渣球。通常情况下，挡渣球应分布均匀，并且覆盖面积要足够大，确保渣滓无法穿过挡渣球层，

3.定期检查和维护
为了确保挡渣球的正常使用效果，应定期检查和维护挡渣球。如有磨损或损坏，应及时更换。同时，应定期清除挡渣球层上方的积渣，保持其良好的去渣效果。

1. Proper shape
The shape of the  skimming slag ball is one of the key factors affecting its effectiveness., the shape of the ball should be checked to ensure that the  shape meets the specified requirements. The surface of the ball should be smooth, free of obvious cracks.

2. Correct placement position
The placement position of the skimming slag ball directly affects its slag removal effect. It should be placed at an appropriate position  according to the furnace type and process requirements. Typically, the skimming slag  balls should be evenly distributed and cover a sufficiently large area to ensure that the slag cannot go through the layer of skimming slag balls.

3. Regular inspection and maintenance
To ensure the normal use effect of the skimming slag balls., they should be  regularly inspected and maintained. If there is wear or damage, it should be replaced in time. At the same time, the accumulated slag on the top of the skimming slag balls. layer should be regularly cleaned to maintain its good slag removal effect.

四 结论 IV Conclusion

挡渣球作为金属冶炼领域中的重要设备，具有非常重要的作用和功效正确使用挡渣球可以有效地去除渣滓、降低能耗、增加产品收率和延长设备寿命。因此，在金属冶炼过程中，应充分发挥挡渣球的作用，使其发挥最大的功效。同时，要注意挡渣球的放置位置和良好的维护，以确保其长期有效使用。

The skimming slag balls, as an important equipment in the field of metal smelting, plays a very important role and function. Proper use of skimming slag balls can effectively remove slag, reduce energy consumption, increase product yield and extend the service life of equipment. Therefore, in the process of metal smelting, role of the skimming slag balls should be fully played to maximize its effectiveness. At the same time, attention should be paid to the placement position of the slag blocking ball and maintenance to ensure its long-term effective use.
