    This document provides a basic overview of the steel plant operation process. It involves converting iron ore, coal, limestone and other raw materials into usable steel products through several steps. Key processes include sintering the iron ore, producing coke, blast furnace production of hot metal, and refining and continuous casting of steel into final products like slabs, billets, plates, coils or long products through various mills. The inputs are transformed through coke ovens, sinter plants, blast furnaces, basic oxygen furnaces, continuous casting, and rolling mills to produce the final steel products.

    A BASIC OVERVIEW

    OF

    STEEL PLANT OPERATION


    What is Steelmaking?
     A group of processes by which iron
    ore from the earths’ crust is converted
    into usable form of steel, i.e. in form
    of coil, plate & other forms of size &
    shape.
    Inputs for Steelmaking
     Iron Ore
     Coal
     Limestone
     Quartzite
     Manganese
     Dolomite
     Ferroalloys
     Water
     Oxygen
     Nitrogen
