Learning Pathway
Integrated Steelmaking Route
BF → BOF → LF → CC → HR
The dominant global steelmaking route — iron ore is reduced to hot metal in the blast furnace, converted to steel in the BOF, refined in the ladle furnace, cast as slab, and hot-rolled to coil. Accounts for roughly 70% of world steel production.
