The method used for the production of bearing steel is electric arc, with the possibility to be realized in an electric arc furnace. Based on the real chemical composition of the charge materials presented in the introduction, a model for calculation of the charge was created, consistent with the technological conduct of the process. The presented values in the experimental part and the results as well as the analysis are based on the modeling of the process made in the development during the melting period.enArticle
