    摘要: The present disclosure provides a method of making non-grain oriented (NGO) electrical steel. The method includes tapping the liquid steel out of a primary steelmaking furnace. Deoxidizing the liquid steel before or after transferring the deoxidized liquid steel to a ladle metallurgy furnace. Removing sulfur at the ladle metallurgy furnace (LMF). Adding fluxes and deoxidizer to the ladle slag and/or skimming off ladle slag to prevent sulfur reversion. Transferring the liquid steel from the ladle metallurgy furnace to an RH degasser for carbon removal by blowing oxygen. Adding fluxes at the RH before oxygen blowing to fortify the bottom layer of the ladle slag to prevent sulfur reversion. The removal of oxygen and sulfur prior to transferring the liquid steel to the RH degasser facilitates nitrogen removal and prevents carbon pick up during the step of adding fluxes and arcing for sulfur removal if sulfur removal is carried out at the LMF after carbon removal at the RH degasser in the conventional process. Oxygen blowing at the RH also lowered the titanium pickup from the earlier desulfurization process. The ultra low levels of carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, and titanium in the NGO steel made using this method enabled the excellent magnetic properties achieved in the finishing NGO products.
