Description
Protective slag can be used to ensure the stability and smooth operation of the continuous casting process and to improve the surface and subsurface quality of the cast slab, providing functions such as thermal insulation and lubrication. This dataset includes major raw materials, auxiliary materials, energy inputs, and atmospheric emissions from production processes; infrastructure such as production equipment and factory construction is not included within the system boundary. The life cycle inventory is compiled from data obtained from multiple sources. The production activities of protective slag include feeding and mixing, pre-melting, powder grinding, batching and mixing, fine grinding and granulation, drying and screening, and quality inspection processes.

Process Description
Mold flux is a material used in continuous steel casting, placed on the surface of molten steel within the mold to provide thermal insulation, prevent oxidation, and absorb non-metallic inclusions. Mold flux performs five key functions in the continuous casting mold: thermal insulation, oxidation prevention, lubrication, improvement of heat transfer, and inclusion absorption. This product ensures stable and smooth continuous casting operations and enhances the surface and subsurface quality of the cast billet by providing insulation, lubrication, and other functions.
