Secondary metallurgy

Chemical composition is key

The strict requirements for modern steels make it necessary for molten crude steel to undergo subsequent treatment. This applies to both the blast furnace-to-converter and electric arc furnace methods. In the steel life cycle, the secondary metallurgy stage takes place between the converter or electric arc furnace and the casting system. In this phase, the objective is to put the molten steel through certain chemical and/or metallurgical processes to adjust its chemical composition, its purity level, and last but not least its casting temperature to the required parameters.

With the help of hydrogen, an economical process can produce CO2-free iron from the waste of aluminium production, as proven by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Iron Research.
