Abstract

For more than 80 years, the subject of oxygen in molten steel and its removal by various agents has attracted the attention of practical and theoretical metallurgists. This review summarizes some historical data for oxygen contents of steels and some basic thermodynamics for its dissolution and elimination, primarily by the deoxidizers silicon and aluminum.
