Modern steelmaking techniques

Modern steelmaking primarily involves two processes: Basic Oxygen Steelmaking (BOS) and Electric Arc Furnace (EAF). BOS transforms molten iron from a blast furnace into steel by blowing in oxygen to remove impurities. EAF melts recycled steel or scrap using powerful electric arcs. These methods are efficient, cost-effective, and produce high-quality steel with less pollution. Advanced controls and automation optimize temperature and composition, ensuring consistency. Overall, modern techniques streamline production, reduce environmental impact, and enable customization of steel properties for various industries.
