English term or phrase: runs down
As the slurry mixture contacts and ** runs down ** the electrode, it decomposes, losing water and leaving magnesium oxide MgO on the electrode surface. The magnesium oxide may reduce electrode oxidation. Further, as is
known in the art, magnesium oxide is commonly added during heats, and thus, the above method may be an improved technique to add magnesium oxide to the slag in the furnace.
