In order to study the LF refining slag system suitable for high cleanliness and high carbon steel, the influence of refining slag alkalinity (

) on the melting point of the refined slag was calculated by FactSage thermodynamic software, and the most suitable refining slag composition was obtained. According to the thermodynamically calculated refining slag composition, the calcium-aluminum ratio of the original slag system was reduced, and the optimized slag composition was used for the 65Mn steel industrial test. The results show that the optimized refining slag components mass fraction are CaO 52%-58%, Al
