Abstract:
PURPOSE:To obtain a flux which forms beautiful beads and improves workability by sizing the non-magnetized material obtd. by compounding Mn ore, silica sand, lime, etc. with high Mn-content slag which is a main raw material, melting the mixture and subjecting the melt to cooling and magnetic sepn. to a required grain size. CONSTITUTION:The MnO ore, quicklime, silica sand and used welding flux in addition to the high-Mn content slag are mixed and are compounded to adjust the chemical analytical values thereof to 39% MnO, 40% SiO2, 8% CaO, 3% Al2O3, 2% FeO and 3% MgO. The mixture is then melted in an electric furnace and is cooled with water by which the water-granulated material is obed. The material is further subjected to drying and disintegration and the magnetized material is removed therefrom by a magnetic separator. The nonmagnetic material is finally subjected to two stages of screening and the intermediate size thereof is made into a product. The flux which forms the beautiful beads of the deposited material and maintains the good workability is obtd. by the above- mentioned method.
