Abstract

The Nodal Wear Model (NWM) constitutes a tool of applicable work study the processes of differential corrosion in the Peirce - Smith convertor (PSC) with the purpose of reaching significant improvements in duration and productivity of the several alternatives that one could utilize of the coating. For the application of the NWM to CPS is necessary of the knowledge the mechanisms of existent waste and the definition of the corrosion equations. With the NWM the outputs of corrosion in the tuyere zone of CPS are interpreted.
