a large tiltable vessel lined with basic refractory material that is a type of furnace (converter) for steelmaking (see: basic oxygen process)
Good to know
A converter (furnace) in which after charging with molten pig iron (usually comprises 65 to 75% of the charge), scrap steel, and fluxes, a lance is brought down near the surface of the molten metal and jet of high-velocity oxygen impinges on the metal; the oxygen reacts with carbon and other impurities in the steel to form liquid compounds that dissolve in the slag and gases that escape from the top of the vessel.
