Abstract

This paper provides a discussion on the impact of selected factors on the rate of the process of evaporation of volatile metal bath components. The main determinants of the evaporation process are considered to be the pressure inside the metallurgical aggregate, type of the gaseous atmosphere, rate of the bath mixing as well as its composition.
