Summary

The subject is focused on improvement and advancement of knowledge about chemical and metallographic cleanliness of steel. It deals with possibilities of cleanliness classification, technological method of its achievement and exact methods of its evaluation. The intention is to demonstrate wider relation between technology of steel production, cleanliness of steel and usable properties of steel.
