Embodiments include a method of making steel with low carbon content which includes preparing a heat of molten steel composition in a steelmaking furnace to a tapping temperature ranging from 2912 to 3060 degrees F. and tapping into a ladle the molten steel composition having an oxygen level is about 700 to 1000 ppm. The molten steel composition is then transported to a ladle metallurgy furnace, where the molten steel composition is further heated and one or more elements are added to the molten steel composition. The molten steel composition is then transported from the ladle metallurgy furnace to a vacuum tank degasser. The molten steel composition is then decarburized and one or more elements are added to the molten steel composition at the vacuum tank degasser for deoxidization and desulphurization. The molten steel composition is then transported to a ladle metallurgy furnace to further adjust chemistry and temperature.
