Abstract
The invention relates to a converter comprising a vessel (1) resting on two supports (2) by means of two rotational bearing members (3) located diametrically opposite to each other and centered on the same tilting axis (15). According to the invention, the two bearing members of the vessel (1) consist respectively of two collars (3, 3') with a fairly large diameter, which bear against rollers (5) and which form an integral part of the vessel (1), each collar (3, 3') being fixed directly onto the side wall of the vessel along its internal edge (31); the diameter of the collar (3) being determined so that a connection over a sufficient length is ensured. The invention relates especially to the manufacture of steel.
