Materials and Manufacture5.1 Melting PracticeThe steel shall be made by one ormore o
16、f the following primary processes: open-hearth, basic-oxygen, or electric-furnace. The primary melting may incor-porate separate degassing or refining and may be followed bysecondary melting using electroslag remelting or vacuum-arcremelting. Where secondary melting is employed, the heatshall be def
