JSW Steel Salem
operatingBF–BOF Integrated route · Pottaneri, Asia Pacific, India
JSW Steel Salem makes steel by the integrated route: iron ore is smelted into liquid hot metal in a blast furnace, then refined into crude steel in a basic oxygen furnace. The liquid steel is solidified into semi-finished shapes by continuous casting. The plant has a crude steel capacity of about 1.3 million tonnes per year. Its main products are wire rod, square, bar, coil, flat, hot rolled.
