A process and apparatus for depositing a high-quality metallic coating on a steel strip. In this process, one or several metals or metal alloys are continuously evaporated in a thermal plasma from nonoxidizing gas and transformed into the highly ionized state of the thermal plasma. Subsequently, the metal ions contained in the plasma are electrostatically deposited on the steel strip at a pressure elevated by 100 Pa to 5000 Pa relative to the ambient pressure. During coating, the steel strip is held at a uniform temperature and coated at a rate of 40 m/min to 600 m/min.

A cooling element for use in metallurgical furnaces, such as blast furnaces, and a method of making the same. The cooling element is composed of a cast-steel body having a surface which in use faces the interior of the respective furnace and which is provided with elements of refractory material. Embedded in the cast-steel body are steel tubes through which cooling medium is to be circulated when the element is in use. Embedded between the respective tubes are heat-absorbing members which are preferably of the same or an analogous material as the cast-steel body itself and which have the purpose of absorbing the temperature differential between the liquidous point of the steel melt and the superheated temperature at which the melt is cast.

A method for preheating the oxygen used in converters. Steam which is already available in the usual steel manufacturing plant, is used to preheat the oxygen. The steam may be generated from waste gas produced in an converter process. A heat exchanger which may be placed into an oxygen supply line, feeds into a line of the blast lance. This heat exchanger may be placed between the feed line to the blast lance and shut off and control devices in the oxygen supply line. A connector in the oxygen supply line may be located between the heat exchanger and the feed line to the blast lance, and may be heat-insulated.
