Abstract: The argon-oxygen decarburization (AOD) process is a crucial refining method in modern stainless steel production. It has been widely used to remove C in the past few decades [1, 2]. The AOD converter can provide excellent mixing conditions through turbulent stirring using submerged tuyeres. In the AOD process, the flow characteristics in the bath have a significant influence on the mass transport, momentum exchange and heat transfer, which are closely linked with the gas-metal reaction kinetics and the refining efficiency. A deep understanding of jet behavior, bubble flow characteristics and mixing efficiency facilitates further optimization of the decarburization and desulfurization operations. This will increase the AOD productivity and lower its energy and material consumption as well as the manufacturing cost.
