Abstract
Updating of a unit for outside-the-furnace vacuum degassing intended for the preparation of a low-carbon (≤ 0.004% C) IF-steel is described. The updating involved replacement of the electric heater for the work space with a gas-oxygen burner. Changes in the refractory lining wear rate associated with this replacement are discussed. Routes towards further improvement of the vacuum degassing technology are outlined.
