ABSTRACT:
A process is disclosed for reducing the carbon content of a melt of metal or metal alloy, carbon, and at least one strong oxide forming metallic alloying element from an initial value of about 0.1 wt % carbon to a final value of not less than about 0.003 wt % carbon. The process consists of contacting the melt with a reactive oxide of the metallic alloying element and simultaneously stirring the melt with an inert gas.
