How is Steel Made? An introduction to steelmaking.

The main raw materials required for steelmaking are iron ore, coal, and limestone. Iron ore is mined and processed to extract iron, while coal is used as a source of carbon and to provide heat during the smelting process. Limestone is used as a flux to remove impurities during refining. The top iron ore producing countries are China, Australia ...

A Visual Guide: Steel Making Process Chart

In a blast furnace, iron ore is combined with coke and limestone which act as a reducing agent and flux respectively. Intense heat triggers a series of chemical reactions that strip away impurities and leave behind molten iron, also known as pig iron. Molten iron then undergoes a primary steelmaking process.
