Ladle metallurgy

Ladle metallurgy is a refining process used in steelmaking, where molten steel is transferred from a furnace to a ladle—a large vessel—to improve its quality. Inside the ladle, processes like stirring and chemical treatment remove impurities, adjust temperature, and control alloy content. This ensures the steel has the desired composition and properties for specific applications. Ladle metallurgy allows precise control, leading to cleaner, more uniform steel with better mechanical performance. It is a critical step for producing high-quality steel used in industries like construction, automotive, and manufacturing.
