Abstract
Abstract A useful method of making key alloys for refining steel by addition to the steel melt whereby alloying elements and nitrogen may be incorporated in the steel, consists of nitriding a nitridable metal or metal alloy, which alloy may be an alloy of two nitridable alloys or a ferroalloy of a nitridable metal, by exposing the metal or alloy to a nitriding atmosphere at an elevated temperature.
