Theoretical and experimental studies on the behavior of sulfur and phosphorus in a steelmaking bath have been carried out, which made it possible to conduct comprehensive studies on refining steel in an induction crucible furnace (ICF) using slags in experimental industrial conditions in this paper. At the same time, by selecting special slags and reducing the height of the meniscus of the bath mirror, they provided an increased refining ability of the slag, which allowed it to be kept above the metal melt and reduce “sliding" to the crucible wall. The thermodynamic, kinetic and technological parameters of the metal refining process using slag in ICF are determined. Quantitative dependences of the main technological parameters of metal refining are obtained, which form the basis of a new technological instruction for steel production, reflecting the effect of temperature on the dephosphorization process and the duration of metal exposure under slag in ICF on the final sulfur content in the metal.
