  • Published:
Steel in Translation Aims and scope

Abstract

A method of converter smelting of steel with the application of low voltage has been developed at the Institute of Ferrous Metallurgy, Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. Extensive testing at Ukrainian enterprises in 60-, 160-, and 250-t converters demonstrates benefits in terms of resource and energy conservation and environmental impact.
