 ELEMINATING IMPURITIES FROM MOLTEN IRON AND MAKING STEEL


The molten iron produced in a blast furnace contains a large amount of carbon (C) as well as has impurities such as phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S). The molten iron is put in a steel converter and pure oxygen is injected. This process filters phosphorus, sulfur and carbon. The clean molten iron removed from the impurities is called a molten steel. We manufacture Torpedo ladle cars and Lances, which is essential for the process of steel-making.
 
600 TON LADLE TORPEDO CAR

​


​

A Torpedo Ladle Car (TLC), also known as a torpedo car, is a car that transports molten iron produced in a steel finance in steel-making process. This car carries about 1500 degrees of hot water and stores it for up to 24 hours. The molten iron that falls from a blast furnace is transported to the process of steel-making along with the railway of the car (the process of reducing the amount of carbon contained in the molten iron and removing the impurities). The above photograph is a torpedo car ordered from NIPPON STEEL & SUMKIN ENGINEERING (NSENGI), and its weight is over 372 ton.
