Abstract

Preliminary and final samples from the basic oxygen steel shop are analyzed for a variety of elements to control the steelmaking process and determine the chemical analysis of the final product. Faster and more accurate methods of sampling and analysis are being sought to minimize the time required to produce a heat of steel. Rapid sampling and analysis of slag and bath oxygen content are needed to improve control over the oxygen steel-making process.
