02. Blast furnace
Iron ore is reduced using coke and fluxes at high temperatures, producing molten iron, with slag formed as a by-product.
03. Electric arc furnace (EAF)
An electric current melts scrap steel or direct reduced iron, offering flexible, energy-efficient steelmaking with precise control over chemistry.

04. Basic oxygen furnace (BOF)
High-purity oxygen is blown into molten iron and scrap to rapidly lower carbon levels, refining the hot metal into crude steel.

05. Continuous casting
Molten steel is solidified into semi-finished billets, blooms, or slabs through water-cooled moulds, improving yield and energy efficiency compared to ingot casting.

06. Hot rolling
Reheated slabs are rolled at 1,200°C to reduce thickness and form semi-finished products such as coils, plates, and blooms.
