Ap. Yaroshenko et al., APPLICATION OF THERMALLY CLEAVED GRAPHITE IN TECHNOLOGY OF STEEL ALLOYING WITH RARE-EARTH-METALS, Russian journal of applied chemistry, 68(11), 1995, pp. 1603-1606
The possibility of using a gas-insulating coating of thermally cleaved
graphite to keep air away from the slag vat in alloying of steel with
rare-earth metals from the slag phase by electroslag smelting was inv
estigated. Efficiencies of alloying in air, in argon atmosphere, and u
nder a layer of thermally cleaved graphite were compared.
