• Compatibility Study of Carbon-Based Refractory Materials utilized in Silicomanganese Production Furnaces 

      Mølnås, Håvard (Master thesis, 2011)
      Tap hole refractories constitute critical parts of the refractory lining in submerged arc furnaces. For several hours every day, molten slag and metal flow through the tap hole calling for thorough selection of refractory ...
    • Conceptual Tapping Model of Mn-Ferroalloy Furnaces 

      Tangstad, Merete; Olsen, Jan Erik; Ringdalen, Eli; Ksiazek, Michal Tomasz; Reynolds, Quinn; Steenkamp, Joalet (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The tapping process of submerged arc furnaces, like the Mn-ferroalloy production process, is when you drain the liquid metal and slag from the furnace. The optimal tapping process is when slag and metal is drained from the ...
