Talk:Basic oxygen steelmaking

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

How does blowing O2 into the molten iron increase its tempurature? Is this caused by the burning of impurities? --Eraticus 02:48, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

BOF - Basic Oxygen Furnace, many large U.S. steelmakers refer to the process thus, but I am uncertain of where BOS is used and am thus reluctant to edit it.

[edit] Bessemer

I thought the LD process replaced the Bessemer and the Bessemer replaced open hearth. That's what the other articles say. --72.128.33.115 12:49, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
