DEFINITION

Classification: 75/553

Injecting only from above melt surface:

(under subclass 548) Process wherein the Oxygen gas or the Oxygen gas containing gas composition is injected only from above the melt surface.

(1) Note. Injection into the slag or slag-melt interface is considered to be from above the melt surface for purposes of classification in this subclass.
