Abstract
A procedure is described for supplying thermal energy to a steel melt by burning a fuel in a melt containing at most 0.10% carbon, by means of oxygen. Both the fuel and the oxygen are introduced into the steel melt beneath the surface of the melt. The method permits an increase in the scrap or other iron carriers, (ore, pellets, etc.) which can be processed. Apparatus for carrying out the process is also described.
