Oxygen Blowing

Oxygen blowing is a process used in steelmaking where pure oxygen is injected into molten metal to remove impurities like carbon, sulfur, and phosphorus. By reacting with these elements, oxygen helps convert them into gases or slag that can be separated from the steel. This technique improves the steel's quality and properties. Essentially, oxygen blowing accelerates chemical reactions inside the furnace, enabling more efficient purification of the molten metal, making the process faster and producing higher-quality steel.
