Oxidising Atmosphere
Steel
An oxidising atmosphere contains sufficient oxygen to combine, or oxidise, with certain other elements if they are present. An oxidising atmosphere is key to the success of the basic oxygen steelmaking process for converting liquid pig iron into steel. Oxygen is blown through the molten iron in the BOF vessel, where it combines with and removes unwanted carbon as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
