Abstract

An improvement in the manufacture of metallic alloys, and particularly in that stage of production wherein the alloy is decarburized. By adding an oxide of an element of the alloy being produced to the melt-down charge or to the melt, along with a flux which lowers the melting point of the oxide; an improvement is provided in the decarburization of metallic alloys.
