Creation and growth of oxygen-converter steelmaking

Modern oxygen-converter steelmaking is a combination of a technology that has proven itself over many years and modern equipment that controls the steelmaking operation and protects the environment. When used together with out-of-furnace treatment units, this steelmaking method makes it possible to produce steel for high-technology applications in accordance with the most stringent existing standards on the cleanliness of the metal. The method is flexible, is characterized by extremely high productivity, and can be incorporated in a very wide range of manufacturing processes. As a high technology, oxygen-converter steelmaking will remain in demand for decades to come.
