EXPERIMENTAL MANUFACTURE OF ELECTRIC STEEL FROM ELECTRIC PIG IRON.

This paper treats the process of manufacturing special steels from electric pig iron and return scrap, without depending upon scrap bought from outside. It is, of course, desirable to make the pig iron with open hearth furnace and then refine it in the electric furnace, but this is impracticable to the factories that are equipped only with electric furnaces. So it must be of much necessity in our country to solve this important problem of raw material and to establish the so-called autonomous operation of manufacturing pig and steel (Sen-tetu Ikkwansagyô)
