Ironmaking and steelmaking are interdependent processes where iron ore is first transformed into molten pig iron in a blast furnace, then refined to create steel using either basic oxygen steelmaking (BOS) or electric arc furnaces (EAF). The evolution of these...

Quenching is a key process in steel production that rapidly cools metal to change its microstructure, increasing hardness and strength by creating martensitic structure. The choice of cooling medium—water, oil, air or others—affects the rate of cooling and final properties...

The steel making process involves several steps, starting with raw materials like iron ore, coal and limestone. The article explains the transformation of these elements into steel through processes such as blast furnace method for creating iron from iron ore,...
