INTENSIFICATION OF LOW-CARBON STEEL DESULPHURISATION IN THE
INDUCTION FURNACE

Sulphur in steel is an undesirable element because it lowers all technological and uses values of steel
products. During the steelmaking process, the desulphurization process depends on the thermodynamic
conditions, the used desulphurizes, and the stability of the formed sulphides. The desulphurization
technology in the production of low-carbon steel in a protective atmosphere, with the addition of
synthetic slag and strong desulphurizing agents with additional argon blowing, is presented in this paper.
The reduction of sulphur content achieved in the induction furnace is an important contribution to the
technology of the production of low-carbon steels.
