Removal of non-metallic inclusions from steel by electromagnetic levitation melting in a slag

An investigation was conducted on the removal of non-metallic inclusions in steel through fusion by electromagnetic levitation in synthetic slag, aiming to improve the material's cleanness. Steel samples (DIN 17135) were placed inside pre-fabricated slag powder, levitated, and melted using an electromagnetic field. The molten samples were held inside molten slag for varying durations (3 to 15 min) and temperatures...
