Unlike ACIPCO, who perfected the
basic slag cupola, Clow, according to Kirgin, was the first company to continually externally desulfurize ductile iron to prepare it for Mg treatment, which is the predominant method used for cupola-melted iron today.
* Pure Mg treatment produces a
basic slag, and thus cleaner treated iron.
Late-1970s - Acid-slag cupola practices plus external desulfurization with Ca[C.sub.2] begin to replace
basic slag cupolas.
Basic slag practice to achieve a low-sulfur (S), high-carbon (C) base metal was impractical, since we had to melt GI out of the same unit.
By 1968, the
basic slag cupola used the continuous porous plug process.
The demand for acidic refractories is increasing due to their low cost and ability to resist slag erosion at a high temperature, whereas the demand for neutral refractories is also expected an increase as they are resistant to chemical reactions of acids or
basic slags.
