Process of Steel-making from Iron Ore. Steel is an alloy consisting mainly of iron, carbon and other elements. According to its carbon content, iron can be divided into pig iron and wrought iron. Pig iron contains between 2.11 and 4.5 percent carbon, wrought iron less than 0.0218 percent and steel between (0.0218 and 2.11 percent).

The iron ore, limestone, and coke are charged, heated, and then reacted to form a reducing gas, which reduces the iron oxide to metallic iron. The iron is tapped from the furnace along with the slag, which contains the impurities. A modern alternative to the blast furnace is continuous casting of iron instead of intermittent tapping.

To make steel, the iron needs to be separated from the oxygen and a tiny amount of carbon needs to be added. Both are accomplished by melting the iron ore at a very high temperature (1,700 degrees Celsius or over 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit) in the presence of oxygen (from the air) and a type of coal called coke.

BASIC OXYGEN STEEL MAKING PROCESS( BOP ) A process for converting pig iron from a blast furnace into steel. The molten pig iron is loaded into a refractory-lined tilting furnace (Bessemer converter) at about 1250°C. Oxygen is blown into the furnace from the base and spiegel is added to introduce the correct amount of carbon.

The world produces about 851 million tons (766 million metric tons) of raw steel each year. This total is higher than that for pig iron because only about 1,250 pounds (567 kilograms) of pig iron are used in a mix to make each 2,000 pounds (907 kilograms), or one short ton (0.91 metric ton), of steel.
