Abstract

The dependence of the content of dissolved oxygen on the holding time of a copper melt after using various deoxidizers is investigated in laboratory conditions. It is established that, during smelting in alundum crucibles in air without protective coating, the saturation rate of the melt with oxygen is high. Among the studied deoxidizers, zirconium provides the most effective protection of the melt from air oxygen.
