Talk:Basic oxygen steelmaking

message: How does blowing O2 into the molten iron increase its temperature? Is this caused by the burning of impurities?

message: BOF - Basic Oxygen Furnace, many large U.S. steelmakers refer to the process thus, but I am uncertain of where BOS is used and am thus reluctant to edit it. --shadow 23:10, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I thought the LD process replaced the Bessemer and the Bessemer replaced open hearth. That's what the other articles say. --72.128.33.115 12:49, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I've just noticed that there are two separate pages on the basic oxygen furnace and process, that largely repeat the same information. I'm recommending that they be merged. Sentinel75 11:48, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think that's an adequate reason not to merge them. There is an article automobile which covers both foreign and american cars. I think the processes have much more in common then they don't. There is no reason the differences can't be noted in one article. --Wizard191 (talk) 02:31, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm very interested in smelting and forging. Can anyone tell me where and how to learn the basics of the craft? Example, I would like to construct a basic crude furnace in my back yard and I wanna learn how to melt iron and oxidize it into steel and then hammer it and work it into swords and shields or stuff. I'm good in chemistry and I'm in highschool so I understand the processes, I am not a noob. Please assist me.--Ren Storm 21:19, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Basic Oxygen Steel (BOS) making.

message: We just spent a long time reducing our Fe2O3 to Fe, and protecting it with slag for the hot blast air to preven oxidisation, And now we're removing impurities By "Directing a jet of Pure Oxygen at the molten Pig Iron", how come the iron isn't oxidised? Oxinabox 03:57, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I agree that oxides of calcium and magnesium are basic in nature, but can they be said to have a pH?  In the solid state they surely contain no hydrogen ions at all.

replies: text: I see that the intro has been amended since you made this objection, but it's still wrong. The word basic has nothing to do with the refractories; it describes the composition of the slag. This is explained in Basic Oxygen Steelmaking Simulation, version 1.36 User Guide (Section 9.2.1) by steeluniversity.org. For optimal removal of phosphorus and sulphur, the basicity (not pH, as you correctly pointed out) of the slag is required to be 3, which is highly basic, hence the name of the process. The fact that the refractories are also made of basic materials is just a coincidence, since according to the reference I just cited they don't take part in the reactions. --Heron (talk) 18:10, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

message: "The BOS vessel can be tilted up to 360°." That is not what "tilt" means. That would be "rotate." What was the text supposed to say there? IAmNitpicking (talk) 19:41, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
