Xichang company's steelmaking plant adopts duplex steelmaking process which includes vanadiuniextrac- ting and steelmaking. In the process

vanadium extracting reduces the total heat. After vanadium extracting

the product is called semi-steel. Compared with normal hot metal

semi-steel causes lots of steelmaking problems such as heat lack and low quality steel slag

for its low carbon and silicon and manganese and temperature. All of those mentioned limit plant

'

s scrap metal and pig iron consumption. Through exploration and study

the total scrap ration is smoothly raised from 2% ~ 6% to 7% ~ 10%. Meanwhile

the converter refractory brick and steel clearness are safe. The plant's scrap ration takes a leading position in the steelmaking plants using V-Ti hot metal.
