Abstract
An oxygen top-blowing steelmaking process is disclosed, which comprises preparing a molten metal suitable for producing steel in a basic oxygen furnace, carrying out the top-blowing and bottom-blowing and then tapping the resulting molten steel. The bottom-blowing is carried out at least partly during the period of time from beginning of blowing to the tapping of the melt and a powder of a slag-forming agent, such as quick lime, limestone, is introduced into the molten metal together with the top-blowing of oxygen jet injected through an oxygen lance so as to form an effective slag at an early stage of refining.
