The market actually buys more steel now than ever before, and this trend is looking good. Even using modern freight rates it is often cheaper to ship from the Far East than it was before Russia's currency collapse in 1998, market sources report. There is one very important aspect in which the desulphurization of molten steel is different from other sources and that is its remarkable ability to enhance the mechanical properties of steel in a significant way. When the sulfur content is reduced, steel loses its brittleness, acquiring ductility instead. This is essential for applications requiring both strength and toughness. By making these changes in mechanical properties, the ability of steel products to withstand stress is increased and they are less likely to fail. That is peace of mind for both manufacturers and users. Thus certain steel products can lead a life of superior quality and suffer less failure in a variety of industrial and everyday applications.

Desulphurization plays a key role in improving the corrosion resistance of steel, which is another significant benefit for customers. Sulphur can make steel more susceptible to corrosion, particularly in harsh environments. By removing sulphur, desulphurization process creates a more uniform and protective oxide layer on the steel's surface, safeguarding it against corrosive elements. This is especially important for steel used in construction, offshore structures, and automotive industries, where exposure to aggressive environments can compromise structural integrity and lifespan. Investing in desulphurization, therefore, leads to steel products that are more resilient and maintain their integrity over time.

Another point of interest in the pollution control of steel making: Efficiency From a different angle: If high sulfur-content steel can lead to complications during process operation, making it hard for example to hot roll or weld successfully. The costs of production itself increase. Thus by desulphurizing the steel, fewer defects will be encountered in manufacturing, rework will decrease and production processes become more efficient. And in terms of material quality In addition, the yield (percentage) of good steel – which means it can be used for other purposes– goes up very significantly indeed. With a range of steel grades from that black, high grade low-purity steel On one hand, for the steel producer the result is cost savings on raw materials, increased yields of good steel which can be used in a wider range of applications, and higher profits for him personally. On the other hand this also fits in with his overall marketing strategy: The greater variety and better quality that he can offer customers, so much the more competitive will be his product.
