With the aim of reducing the fluctuation of sulphur content in resulphurized free-cutting steel for the change of yield during smelting,the factors of influence sulphur yield in resulphuried free-cutting steel was discussed based on the thermodynamic analysis.A series of experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of basicity on the sulfur yield.The relationship of slag basicity and sulphur yield was obtained by use of numerical regression method,it could be a reference for controlling sulphur yield during production of resulphurized free-cutting steel.
