This book seeks to provide a comprehensive coverage of the
important and growing field of ladle metallurgy, including theory,
practice, and economics. During the past decade, major advances
have been made in the secondary metallurgy of steel and other
metals; indeed, secondary metallurgy, that is, the ladle treatment
of molten metals, following the melting and refining steps, has
become an important and inevitable part of the overall processing
sequence. Ladle metallurgy is attractive because it can provide an
effective means for adjusting and fine-tuning the composition and
temperature of the molten products prior to solidification
processing. Ladle metallurgy allows us to produce materials of very
high purity and will become increasingly an essential process
requirement. Indeed, many of the novel casting techniques will
mandate steels of much higher cleanliness than those in current
practice. Of course, ladle metallurgy or secondary metallurgy is
not limited to steel; indeed, major advances have been made and are
being made in the secondary processing of aluminum, aluminum
alloys, and many specialty metals.
