Steelmaking is the process of producing steel from iron ore and other materials. It typically involves two main methods: the Basic Oxygen Process and the Electric Arc Furnace method. In the Basic Oxygen Process, molten iron is combined with scrap steel and oxygen is blown through it, which helps remove impurities. The Electric Arc Furnace method uses electricity to melt scrap steel and other materials. Both methods result in the production of various types of steel, which are used in construction, manufacturing, and many other industries. Steel's strength and versatility make it a vital material in modern society.
