Secondary Steelmaking

Over the last generation, significant advances have been made in the processing of liquid steel after it is tapped out of primary steelmaking furnaces. Secondary Steelmaking: Principles and Applications synthesizes the scientific fundamentals and technologica applications of this steel. It emphasizes the fundamentals of the purification process, which is the key to obtaining the high quality steel demanded by modern consumers. It covers all aspects of secondary steelmaking, including deoxidation, degassing, desulphurization, homogenization, and temperature control, and presents an integrated picture of the 'Clean Steel' manufacturing process.
