Procedure for the manufacture of Steel from Sponge metal plasmas using gas as energy carriers

摘要

Method for producing steel from sponge metal with the use of a gas plasma in a melting vessel containing a metal bath. The sponge metal is fed into the melting vessel and is melted directly by the plasma without the addition of base or acid means. The slag produced from the melting of the sponge metal is removed continuously from the metal bath.
