According to the Melchers model, during the initial state of the first stage, steels are oxidized to produce various forms of dissolved ferrous ion or precipitated ferrous hydroxide. The various forms of ferrous ion are chemically or electrochemically oxidized by oxygen to produce different types of ferric oxyhydroxide, maghemite, or hematite.
