The end blow manganese behavior in BOF process wasassessed through analysis of an industrial data base. The available literature suggests that the main operationalfactors to influence the end blow manganese behavior inBOF are: manganese input, slag volume, oxidation level andtemperature. The large extension of the industrial data basehas made possible to separate the influence for each factor.Then correlations between end blow manganese and thesefactors have been obtained.
