AbstractIn this study, at Kardemir Co. Inc., during the absorption of BOF gas with basic oxygen furnaces (BOF) in the steel production phase with high suction ID fan (Induced Draft), it was provided that wear of the ID fan blades was improved. As a result of the investigations, it was determined that BOF gas eroded ID fan body and wings and an increase in ID fan vibration values due to abrasion happened. ID fan blades have been improved to eliminate wear on ID fan blades. As a result, improvements have resulted in reduced production stoppages due to vibration, improved production efficiency and reduced production costs.
