This invention relates to a method and apparatus for making steel in a converter top-blown with oxygen. In particular, the invention relates to operating a converter top-blown with oxygen by monitoring the temperature on the area of the bath surface contacted by the oxygen jet, which is the reaction zone, determining the reaction-zone temperature decrease indicating the end of desiliconization of the bath, and thereupon increasing the amount of oxygen and preferably also decreasing the height of the oxygen lance above the bath surface during the carbon-removal portion of oxygen blowing. The increased oxygen flow rate and decreased lance height is maintained for the remainder of the steelmaking operation.
