Aluminium

Aluminium (Aluminum in North American English) is a chemical element; it has symbol Al and atomic number 13.

Barrow Hematite Steel Company

The Barrow Hematite Steel Company Limited was a major iron and steel producer based in Barrow-in-Furness, Lancashire (now Cumbria), England, between 1859 and 1963.

See Steel mill and Barrow Hematite Steel Company

Barrow-in-Furness

Barrow-in-Furness is a port town and civil parish (as just "Barrow") in the Westmorland and Furness district of Cumbria, England.

See Steel mill and Barrow-in-Furness

Basic oxygen steelmaking (BOS, BOP, BOF, or OSM), also known as Linz-Donawitz steelmaking or the oxygen converter process,Brock and Elzinga, p. 50. Steel mill and Basic oxygen steelmaking are steelmaking.

See Steel mill and Basic oxygen steelmaking

Bessemer process

The Bessemer process was the first inexpensive industrial process for the mass production of steel from molten pig iron before the development of the open hearth furnace. Steel mill and Bessemer process are steelmaking.

See Steel mill and Bessemer process

Blast furnace

A blast furnace is a type of metallurgical furnace used for smelting to produce industrial metals, generally pig iron, but also others such as lead or copper. Steel mill and blast furnace are Firing techniques and steelmaking.

See Steel mill and Blast furnace

Casting

Casting is a manufacturing process in which a liquid material is usually poured into a mold, which contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape, and then allowed to solidify.

See Steel mill and Casting

Coke (fuel)

Coke is a grey, hard, and porous coal-based fuel with a high carbon content.

See Steel mill and Coke (fuel)

Commercial Metals Company (CMC), headquartered in Irving, Texas, is a producer of rebar and related products for the construction industry.

See Steel mill and Commercial Metals Company

Concrete

Concrete is a composite material composed of aggregate bonded together with a fluid cement that cures to a solid over time.

See Steel mill and Concrete

Continuous casting

Continuous casting, also called strand casting, is the process whereby molten metal is solidified into a "semifinished" billet, bloom, or slab for subsequent rolling in the finishing mills.

See Steel mill and Continuous casting

Direct reduced iron

Direct reduced iron (DRI), also called sponge iron, is produced from the direct reduction of iron ore (in the form of lumps, pellets, or fines) into iron by a reducing gas which contains elemental carbon (produced from natural gas or coal) and/or hydrogen.

See Steel mill and Direct reduced iron

Electric arc furnace

An electric arc furnace (EAF) is a furnace that heats material by means of an electric arc. Steel mill and electric arc furnace are steelmaking.

See Steel mill and Electric arc furnace

Environmental hazard

Environmental hazards are those hazards that affect biomes or ecosystems.

See Steel mill and Environmental hazard

Ferrous metallurgy is the metallurgy of iron and its alloys. Steel mill and Ferrous metallurgy are steelmaking.

See Steel mill and Ferrous metallurgy

Finery forge

A finery forge is a forge used to produce wrought iron from pig iron by decarburization in a process called "fining" which involved liquifying cast iron in a fining hearth and removing carbon from the molten cast iron through oxidation. Steel mill and finery forge are steelmaking.

See Steel mill and Finery forge

Foundry

A foundry is a factory that produces metal castings. Steel mill and foundry are Firing techniques.

See Steel mill and Foundry

Gwangyang

Gwangyang is a city in South Jeolla Province, South Korea.

See Steel mill and Gwangyang

Iron ore

Iron ores are rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be economically extracted.

See Steel mill and Iron ore

Ironbridge Gorge

The Ironbridge Gorge is a deep gorge, containing the River Severn in Shropshire, England.

See Steel mill and Ironbridge Gorge

Ironworks

An ironworks or iron works is an industrial plant where iron is smelted and where heavy iron and steel products are made. Steel mill and ironworks are iron and steel mills.

See Steel mill and Ironworks

In metallurgy, a ladle is a bucket-shaped container or vessel used to transport and pour out molten metals. Steel mill and ladle (metallurgy) are steelmaking.

See Steel mill and Ladle (metallurgy)

List of steel producers

This is a list of the largest steel-producing companies in the world mostly based on the list by the World Steel Association.

See Steel mill and List of steel producers

Long steel products

In steel industry terminology long steel products or long products refers to steel products including wire, rod, rail, and bars as well as types of steel structural sections and girders.

See Steel mill and Long steel products

Manufacturing

Manufacturing is the creation or production of goods with the help of equipment, labor, machines, tools, and chemical or biological processing or formulation.

See Steel mill and Manufacturing

Nucor

Nucor Corporation is an American company based in Charlotte, North Carolina, that produces steel and related products.

See Steel mill and Nucor

Ore

Ore is natural rock or sediment that contains one or more valuable minerals concentrated above background levels, typically containing metals, that can be mined, treated and sold at a profit.

See Steel mill and Ore

Physical plant

A physical plant, mechanical plant or industrial plant (and where context is given, often just plant) refers to the necessary infrastructure used in operation and maintenance of a given facility.

See Steel mill and Physical plant

Pig iron

Pig iron, also known as crude iron, is an intermediate good used by the iron industry in the production of steel. Steel mill and Pig iron are steelmaking.

See Steel mill and Pig iron

Pipe (fluid conveyance)

A pipe is a tubular section or hollow cylinder, usually but not necessarily of circular cross-section, used mainly to convey substances which can flow — liquids and gases (fluids), slurries, powders and masses of small solids.

See Steel mill and Pipe (fluid conveyance)

Puddling is the process of converting pig iron to bar (wrought) iron in a coal fired reverberatory furnace. Steel mill and Puddling (metallurgy) are steelmaking.

See Steel mill and Puddling (metallurgy)

Railway track

A railway track (British English and UIC terminology) or railroad track (American English), also known as a train track or permanent way (often "perway" in Australia), is the structure on a railway or railroad consisting of the rails, fasteners, railroad ties (sleepers, British English) and ballast (or slab track), plus the underlying subgrade.

See Steel mill and Railway track

Rebar

Rebar (short for reinforcing bar), known when massed as reinforcing steel or steel reinforcement, is a steel bar used as a tension device in reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures to strengthen and aid the concrete under tension.

See Steel mill and Rebar

In metalworking, rolling is a metal forming process in which metal stock is passed through one or more pairs of rolls to reduce the thickness, to make the thickness uniform, and/or to impart a desired mechanical property.

See Steel mill and Rolling (metalworking)
