PRODUCTION OF ALLOY STEELS USING CHEMICALLY PREPARED V2O3 AS A VANADIUM ADDITIVE

摘要

Process for producing alloy steels wherein a vanadium additive consisting essentially of chemically prepared, substantially pure V2O3 is added to molten steel as a vanadium additive. The production of the alloy steel involves specifically the use of the V2O3 as a vanadium additive in an argon-oxygen-decarburization (AOD) process.
