Steelmaking process

The process according to the present invention relates to the production of ferrovanadium alloys. The process comprises melting a charge containing iron and vanadium with a subsequent reduction of iron and vanadium to give a metal melt. In accordance with the present invention, iron and vanadium are reduced substantially completely. The resulting metal melt is poured into a converter and then purged, through the converter bottom, by means of oxygen blowing at a supply rate of oxygen and for a period of time sufficient to produce a slag containing at least 35% by weight of vanadium pentoxide. Thereafter, the metal melt is discharged from the converter, while vanadium and iron are reduced from the resulting slag by the metallothermal method.
