Modern oxygen-converter steelmaking represents a significant technological advancement that combines proven methods with contemporary equipment aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and environmental protection. This steelmaking technique allows for the production of high-quality steel suitable for high-technology applications, adhering to stringent cleanliness standards. The development of this process, which celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2006, marked a transformative shift in ferrous metallurgy. The principle involves blowing pure oxygen into a liquid metal bath to remove excess carbon, a method conceptualized by Henry Bessemer but delayed by technological limitations until advancements in oxygen production emerged. The evolution of oxygen-converter steelmaking has undergone distinct stages, overshadowing older methods and adapting to influences from competing steelmaking technologies. This paper aims to summarize the historical progression and industrial relevance of the oxygen converter process, demonstrating its flexibility and high productivity that guarantee its sustained demand in future manufacturing landscapes. The findings underline the importance of oxygen-converter technology in meeting the contemporary needs of metallurgy while continuing to evolve in the face of emerging challenges and future methodologies.
