Abstract effects of some key factors on nitrogen absorption during the smelting process of X70 pipeline steel were studied, and the source of nitrogen pick-up was analyzed to find the bottleneck for nitrogen control. A series of measures were put forward to decrease the nitrogen pick-up. The results indicated that an exponential relationship existed between the nitrogen absorption index and the free oxygen in molten steel. Nitrogen absorption index could decrease below 0��3 when free oxygen in molten steel was above 100��10-6 after tapping. For low sulfur killed steel, the nitrogen absorption ratio and sulfur content satisfied a linear relationship with a slope of -0��007. Low free-oxygen and sulfur were beneficial to the deep desulfurization during vacuum treatment. The contradiction of high desulfurization ratio and low nitrogen pick-up during LF process could be resolved by skimming oxidizing slag after tapping and making new high basicity top slag. After optimization, the average content of nitrogen in final product decreased from 46��10-6 to 35��10-6.
