Analysis of Flow-Induced Shear Stress Helps Improve the Lining Life of Steel Ladles – Steel Authority of India Limited CASE STUDY / “Ansys Fluent has reduced our cost per ton of steel by reducing refractory consumption in ladles.” Rajeev Kumar Singh Senior Manager / Process Simulation & Modeling Lab, RDCIS SAIL2 Analysis of Flow-Induced Shear Stress Helps Improve the Lining Life of Steel Ladles – Steel Authority of India Limited // CASE STUDY During secondary refining, steel production requires the use of ladles with refractory linings to hold the molten metal for casting, temperature control, deoxidation, addition of alloys and inclusion floatation. The metal is stirred by purging gases through porous blocks (plugs) in the bottom of the ladle to enhance the reaction rate and homog
