Abstract

A method for metallothermally reheating a liquid steel bath in a metallurgical container into which a metal fuel is placed and oxidizing and agitating gases are injected under its surface. A controllable flow resulting from the injection of agitating gas is generated in the bath by means of a device which is separate from the oxidizing gas injection device, and the metal fuel is inserted into said flow so that it comes into contact with said oxidizing gas.
