• degassing (hydrogen and nitrogen removal)
• decarburisation to lowest levels
• desulphurisation by metal/slag reaction
• efficient alloying/fine trimming with high accuracy
• slag management
• shape control
• homogenisation of ladle content

The installation of an oxygen blowing lance system features the following additional process applications:
oxygen blowing for forced decarburisation from high carbon start levels e.g. for

• the production of Ultra-Low Carbon (ULC) steel grades
• oxygen blowing for chemical heating by aluminum combustion
