Abstract
1. The argon degassing process is readily adaptable to electric furnace practice for the production of alloy, medium, or high carbon steels. Significant and consistent improvement in cleanliness, workability, and mechanical properties have been obtained. Nitrogen content was maintained at furnace levels and, where specifically desired, hydrogen content was reduced to 2.1 to 3.1 ppm. 2. Additional features associated with argon degassing these grades include improved alloy recoveries, ability to meet narrow specification ranges, low temperature losses, and low product sulfur contents. 3. Argon degassing practices have been developed for producing low carbon steels having a temperature and composition suitable for continuous casting. Ingot casting of these steels resulted in fully killed product which exhibits excellent rolling and wire drawing properties. 4. Production of low carbon aluminum-killed steels by argon degassing resulted in a significant improvement in aluminum recovery and rolling and wire drawing properties. Billet oxygen contents were less than 50 ppm.
