An Overview of Steel
What is Steel Made Of?
Steel is an alloy, a combination of chemical elements, which at least one of is metal. It comprises a mixture of carbon and iron.
How is Steel Made?
There are two main ways to produce steel: a blast furnace-basic oxygen furnace (BF-BOF) and an electric arc furnace (EAF). BF-BOF mostly uses iron ore, coal, and recycled steel. While EAF uses mainly recycled steel and electricity.
Blast Furnace-Basic Oxygen Furnace (BF-BOF)
In this process, iron ores undergo a reduction in producing iron, also known as hot metal or pig iron. Then, the process converts the iron to steel and casts it into a coil, plate, sections, or bars. Around 70% of steel production uses this method.
Electric Arc Furnace (EAF)
With the use of electricity, recycled steel is melted and adjusted with additives, like alloys, to achieve the desired chemical composition.
What are the Different Types of Steel?
Steel is not a singular type of product. There are over 3,500 different grades of steel. Which have many physical, chemical, and environmental properties.
Researchers have developed approximately 75% of modern steel in the last 20 years. New advances have made possible to produce lighter, stronger steel.
