Particularly in an Electric Arc Furnace I have seen carbon boil occuring . I understand the reaction is very vital but what is it's utility? A detailed answer to this is most welcome. The internet says that it promotes slag metal reactions and temperature homogeneity. But my question is how that is it.There are many elements present but why particularly do I need to boing carbon? Why not Si, P etc. This is where the problem seems to be very confusing for me.

$\begingroup$ You always ask for a detailed answer, but never proof of any detailed research... $\endgroup$– Solar MikeMar 30, 2021 at 5:01

$\begingroup$ Any particular source for that? You should look at your previous questions and think about why they get closed - lack of clarity seems to be the reason. Then improve your questions. $\endgroup$– Solar MikeMar 30, 2021 at 5:17

1$\begingroup$ I never heard the expression in visiting 50 steel mills around the world. I guess it is some local jargon for oxygen / argon carbon reduction. $\endgroup$– blacksmith37Mar 30, 2021 at 15:00

1$\begingroup$ Injecting oxygen burns out carbon as carbon dioxide , it would look like a "boil". I expect it oxidizes P, S, and Si which could make silicate slag . $\endgroup$– blacksmith37Mar 31, 2021 at 0:05
