Basic Oxygen Steelmaking

Basic Oxygen Steelmaking (BOS) is a process where molten iron from a blast furnace is converted into steel. In this method, pure oxygen is blown through the iron, causing its impurities—like carbon, silicon, and manganese—to react with oxygen and become gases or slag (a waste material). This removes unwanted elements, refining the metal into high-quality steel. The process is efficient, fast, and allows for precise control over the steel's composition, making it essential for producing various steel products used in construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure.
