The utilization of aplite in ladle desulfurization of cast iron
Abstract
The desulfurizing powers of aplite, aplite-soda ash
mixtures, and aplite-dehydrated lime combinations when added
to a ladle of cast iron were tested. Ladle conditions were
simulated by melting cast iron in a crucible and introducing
the reagent mixtures into the molten metal by means of a cast
iron cup and steel rod.
It was found that in every case the desulfurizlng
power was appreciably below that of soda ash and did not warrant
testing the mixture to determine its effect upon the corrosion
of ladle refractory linings.
