Despite its swift progress, the industry is on the verge of new breakthroughs in steel manufacturing and processing that could mean substantial cost cuts. The most important development in steel in decades is the basic oxygen process, developed in Austria seven years ago, in which a jet of pure oxygen is blown into molten steel held in a special converter. The oxygen accelerates the refining action of the metal, burns out impurities, uses less scrap metal.
