Features of Removal of Phosphorus and Sulfur from Remelting Stock during Electric Arc Melting of Steel

Abstract

The paper provides information on the application of the process of steel smelting in an electric arc furnace. The article describes the compositions of charge materials for producing steels in an electric arc furnace, which consist of the metal part, slag-forming agents, deoxidizing agents and alloying materials, carburizingcomponents and oxidizers. Their functions in the smelting of steel in an electric arc furnace have been defined. In addition, the role of an electric arc furnace in obtaining high-quality steel for various industries has been evaluated.
