Synthetic slags are specially engineered slags designed for targeted use in metallurgical processes – particularly in the steel and foundry industries.
Unlike naturally occurring or process-generated slags, synthetic slags are precisely formulated to meet specific chemical and physical requirements.
The growing variety of steel products demands increasingly precise slag management. Producing every required cover slag directly from standard additives in each steel plant is no longer practical. Synthetic slags are increasingly taking on this role and are applied in various metallurgical processes, including:
Due to their composition, particularly the high content of calcium aluminates (mainly in the C12A7 range), the melting point of the slags is lowered. This results in homogeneous slags with insulating properties, as heat radiation is reduced. The basic composition also provides favorable conditions for effective steel desulfurization. For this reason, these slags are frequently used to enable optimal desulfurization of steel.
Our synthetic slags offer a broad range of advantages:
