A melt’s condition before solidification is important for improving low-alloy steel metal product quality. It depends on melting method, form or type of charge materials used, melting temperature and time parameters, mixing intensity during extra-furnace treatment, and other production methods. Improvement of the level of molten steel’s physical properties as a result of some action points to the formation of more equilibrium and homogeneous melt condition, and this has a marked effect on metal product structure, properties, and quality.
