35、specified in the individual productspecification, the steel shall be fully killed. Use of the basicoxygen process shall be limited to grades containing less than6 % chromium.5.2 If a specific type of melting is required by the purchaser,it shall be stated on the purchase order.5.3 The primary meltin
36、g may incorporate separate degas-sing or refining and may be followed by secondary meltingsuch as electroslag remelting or vacuum remelting. If second-ary melting is employed, the heat shall be defined as all of theingot remelted from a single primary heat.5.4 Steel may be cast in ingots or may be c
37、ontinuously cast.When steel of different grades is continuously cast identifica-tion of the resultant transition material is required. The steelproducer shall remove the transition material by an establishedprocedure that positively separates the grades. Should thepurchaser deem it necessary to have

43、ified in the individual product specifi-cation. If secondary melting processes are employed, the heatanalysis shall be obtained from one remelted ingot or theproduct of one remelted ingot of each primary melt. Thechemical analysis thus determined shall conform to the require-ments of the individual
