Converter steelmaking

Converter steelmaking is a process where iron ore is transformed into steel by blowing oxygen through molten iron in a furnace called a converter. This oxidation removes impurities like carbon, silicon, and manganese, refining the metal into steel. The process involves controlled chemical reactions that produce heat and gases, which help purify the iron quickly. The resulting steel can then be cast into various shapes for construction, manufacturing, and other industrial uses. It's an efficient method widely used in steel production because it allows precise control over the composition and quality of the final product.
