Steel Slag—Its Production, Processing, Characteristics, and Cementitious Properties
Abstract
Steel slag is a byproduct from either the conversion of iron to steel in a basic oxygen furnace, or the melting of scrap to make steel in an electric arc furnace. This paper reviews the production, processing, and characteristics of steel slag, and its use as a cementing component in different cementing systems. The chemical composition and cooling of molten steel slag have a great effect on the physical and chemical properties of solidified steel slag. Steel slag with high basicity and being cooled properly can exhibit cementing property. Ground steel slag has been used in several different cementing systems. The use of steel slag in these cementing systems results in some advantages over conventional cements. At the moment, most steel slag is being used as unbound aggregate for ashphalt concrete pavement in many countries. However, the use of steel slag as a cementing component should be given a priority from technical, economical, and environmental considerations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
