Abstract: A method of and a member for adding a treating agent for molten metal, wherein an additive or treating agent such as a desulfurizing agent or a deoxidizing agent is enclosed in a container made of a self-burnable and self-eruptive material and the container is inserted into the molten metal by dropping it or by making use of a support rod or a plumbing device to produce physical and chemical reactions, which induce agitation and convection in the molten metal, the synergistic effect of such actions causing the treating agent to be effectively added to the molten metal.
