Slag splashing practices in the basic oxygen furnace have been successful in decreasing refractory consumption. During slag splashing, the oxygen lance is lowered into the furnace after tap and nitrogen is blown onto the slag. The high momentum jets splash a coating of slag onto the sidewalls of the furnace that is apparently transformed into a protective refractory coating. The main goals of this research are to provide a better theoretical understanding of slag splashing and the effects of variables such as slag viscosity and lance design.
