Steel Manufacturing

Steel manufacturing is the process of producing steel from raw materials, primarily iron ore, coal, and limestone. This process typically involves the extraction of iron from iron ore through smelting, followed by the conversion of the molten iron into steel through various methods, including the basic oxygen process or electric arc furnaces. Steel manufacturing encompasses several stages, including refining, alloying, casting, and forming, to produce steel products with specific properties and applications. The industry plays a crucial role in supplying materials for construction, automotive, and various other sectors, contributing significantly to the global economy.
