Abstract
A mathematical model of mass-transfer processes in off-furnace degassing of metal in blasting by inert gas bubbles has been developed. Vacuum degassing procedure, described in this paper, can be used in production of low carbon, high strength, micro alloyed, stainless and other classes of steel with advanced characteristics. On the basis of numerical model results, it is possible to calculate time required for hydrogen removal from molten steel under different operational conditions..
