Abstract Slag foaming practice for carbon steel grades has been used for a long time but it has not yet been successful for stainless steel production. Production cost lowering is achieved by improving thermal efficiency and operation conditions by stabilizing the arc activity in consequence of such technology, the refractory and electrode consumption as well as noise level is considerably decreased. All these effects can now be achieved in stainless steel production thanks to a new, patented technology.
