The present disclosure provides a method of making low carbon steel. The method includes tapping the liquid steel out of a primary steelmaking furnace. Deoxidizing the liquid steel. Transferring the deoxidized liquid steel to a ladle metallurgy furnace. Removing sulfur at the ladle metallurgy furnace. Adding fluxes and arcing the liquid steel to prevent sulfur reversion. Transferring the liquid steel from the ladle metallurgy furnace to an RH degasser for carbon removal. The removal of oxygen and sulfur prior to transferring the liquid steel to the RH degasser facilitates nitrogen removal and prevents carbon pick up during the step sulfur removal.
