steelmaking technology

Steelmaking transforms raw materials like iron ore and coke into steel through processes such as blast furnace and basic oxygen furnace methods. In a blast furnace, iron ore is heated with coke and limestone to produce molten iron. This raw iron is then refined in a basic oxygen furnace, where high-purity oxygen is blown in to remove impurities, resulting in liquid steel. The steel can be further shaped, cooled, and treated to create different grades and qualities suited for construction, manufacturing, and other industries. These processes combine high temperatures, chemical reactions, and precise control to produce strong, versatile steel.
