| Technique | Applicability | |
|---|---|---|
| a | Use of slag in construction applications | Only applicable to slags from high-carbon FeCr and SiMn production, slags from alloy recovery from steel mill residues and standard exhaust slag from FeMn and FeMo production |
| b | Use of slag as sandblasting grit | Only applicable to slags from high-carbon FeCr production |
| c | Use of slag for refractory castables | Only applicable to slags from high-carbon FeCr production |
| d | Use of slag in the smelting process | Only applicable to slags from silico-calcium production |
| e | Use of slag as raw material for the production of silico-manganese or other metallurgical applications | Only applicable to rich slag (high content of MnO) from FeMn production |
