Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004018714A1] The invention relates to methods and a device for decarbonising a steel melt (3) during the production of stainless steel in a metallurgical vessel (2), especially in a converter, whereby the steel melt (3) is treated with oxygen and optionally an inert gas, especially argon and/or nitrogen. During the decarbonisation of said steel melt (3) such that it has a carbon content of below 0.3 wt. %, oxygen and optionally inert gas, especially argon and/or nitrogen, are brought into contact therewith (3) by means of an opening beneath the surface of the steel melt (3) and a blowing device arranged above the surface of the steel melt (3).
