    摘要: A process for the production of steel powders including the steps of: providing molten iron from a blast furnace, refining the molten iron in a converter to form molten steel, refining the molten steel in a vacuum arc degasser to obtain a refined molten steel comprising from 20 to less than 600 ppm C, from 15 to less than 120 ppm S, up to 125 ppm P, up to 80 ppm N and up to 30 ppm O, pouring in a plurality of induction furnaces, adding at least one ferroalloy, pouring the molten steel of each induction furnace in a dedicated reservoir connected to at least one gas atomizer, feeding the at least one gas atomizer of each reservoir in molten steel from each reservoir under pressure and gas atomizing the molten steel to form the steel powder at the desired composition.
