Blast furnace, a vertical shaft furnace that produces liquid metals by the reaction of a flow of air introduced under pressure into the bottom of the furnace with a mixture of metallic ore, coke, and flux fed into the top. Blast furnaces are used to produce pig iron from iron ore for subsequent processing into steel.

Electric Arc Furnace Process. As the name implies, the process uses an EAF to melt the charge to make steel. It is a batch melting process producing batches of molten steel known as heats. The EAF operating cycle is called the tap-to-tap cycle and is made up of the following operations: 1. Furnace charging.
There are still high energy consumption, high pollution, high carbon emissions and other problems in the production process of iron and steel.

Overview of the steel production process. Steel is principally made via two routes, the last Furnace-Basic Oxygen Furnace (BF-BOF) route and the Electric Arc Furnace route (EAF) - often referred to as the 'primary' and 'secondary' paths. The former is used to create new or '' steel, the latter is often used to recycle steel scrap.
A trip through a foundry from pattern to product. This series follows a cast iron or steel product through the metal casting process in a traditional foundry. Iron melts at 2750°F and steel at 2500°F. Casting is the process of creating metal objects by pouring liquid metal into molds, where it cools and hardens into the mold's shape.

1 Introduction. During the steelmaking process, various slags are produced as by-products (Shen and Forssberg, 2003 ). The first stage of steel production is blast furnace steelmaking, in which raw iron ore is converted into pig iron, which contains various amounts of carbon, silicon, manganese, sulfur and phosphorus.
This diagram depicts the most common steelmaking processes in the 2020s. It does not feature the new input materials and processes being developed that will dramatically change how we make steel in the next 30 years as we transition to a low-carbon economy. A simple guide into how to make steel.
Galvanizing Process. Hot-dip galvanizing is the process of immersing iron or steel in a bath of molten zinc to produce a corrosion resistant, multi-layered coating of zinc-iron alloy and zinc metal. While the steel is immersed in the zinc, a metallurgical reaction occurs between the iron in the steel and the molten zinc.
An unfavourable accumulation of ores at the contact points can also make gas flow difficult and thus leave non-reduced iron ore behind. At the latest, however, when the melting process occurs in the deeper and hotter zones of the blast furnace, iron ores can be almost completely reduced.
The iron ore production has significantly expanded in recent years, owing to increasing steel demands in developing countries. However, the content of iron in ore deposits has deteriorated and low-grade iron ore has been processed. The fines resulting from the concentration process must be agglomerated for use in iron and steelmaking. …
