Analysis of parameters affecting end blow manganese content at oxygen steelmaking.

The end blow manganese behavior in BOF process was assessed through analysis of an industrial data base.
The available literature suggests that the main operational factors to influence the end blow manganese behavior in BOF are: manganese input, slag volume, oxidation level and temperature. The large extension of the industrial data base has made possible to separate the influence for each factor. Then correlations between end blow manganese and these factors have been obtained.
