In a method of making chrome steel in an electric arc furnace, a charge of chrome-bearing molten metal in the furnace is decarburized by blowing into the charge a jet of pure oxygen and water vapor through a double lance consisting of two concentric tubes and extending into the furnace through a wall or the roof of the furnace, the end of the lance being submerged in the charge and surrounded by a medium which protects it against high temperature wear. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A method of making chromium steel by decarburizing a charge of chromium-bearing molten metal in an electric furnace, the method including the steps of: a.
introducing a double lance consisting of two concentric tubes into said furnace through an opening in the wall of said furnace or in the roof of said furnace, b.
submerging the tip of said lance in said molten charge, c.
blowing pure oxygen and water vapor through said lance in a jet into said molten charge, so that the peripheral part of said jet includes more than 80% of the water vapor which is blown in through the gap between said two tubes of said lance to protect the tip of said lance against high-temperature wear, the inner tube of said lance carrying a blown mixture of pure oxygen and water vapor, d.
decreasing the relative amount of the pure oxygen and increasing that of the water vapor as the carbon content of said molten metal decreases, e.
when the carbon level in said molten metal is below 1%, regulating continuously the proportion of water vapor in said blown mixture and the amount of cooling additives so that the temperature of said molten metal is maintained between 1650.
degree.
C.
and 1720.
degree.
C.
2.
The method according to claim 1, wherein from a carbon content of said molten charge of between 0.
1 and 0.
3% water vapor alone is blown through said double lance.
3.
The method according to claim 1, wherein water vapor alone is blown in through said gap between said two tubes of the lance.
4.
The method according to claim 2, wherein for very low carbon levels the blown in water vapor is mixed with a neutral gas.
5.
The method according to claim 4, wherein said neutral gas is argon.
6.
The method according to claim 1, wherein the water vapor is wholly or partially replaced with water.
7.
The method according to claim 6, wherein the water is atomized.
Description:
The present invention is concerned with the manufacture of chrome steels in electric arc furnaces, and is more particularly but not exclusively concerned with the manufacture of stainless steels
