Abstract

See full text

An impeller for stirring a melt pool includes: an impeller body extending in the length direction; a blowing nozzle which is provided in such a way as to pass through one part at the bottom end of the impeller body; and a blade provided on the upper part of the impeller body. As a result, when the impeller is used, a stirring flow produced due to the blade and a stirring flow due to substances blown into the melt-pool via the blowing nozzle correspond to each other, and the two flows are combined such that the overall stirring force is improved. Consequently, it is possible to improve the efficiency of stirring by the impeller as compared with hitherto, and, as a result, refining efficiency in the refining step is improved as the rate of reaction between the melt-pool and additives is increased.
