Side by side with the vacuum-melting technique, several other vacuum processes have been developed during the last few years; these are employed mainly for the degassing of liquid steel, and are known as “vacuum degassing”. In order to define the field covered by the present review, it is necessary first to explain the difference between vacuum melting and vacuum degassing of molten metals.
