  2. Steelmaking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steelmaking

    Steel mill with two arc furnaces. Steelmaking is the process of producing steel from iron ore and/or scrap.In steelmaking, impurities such as nitrogen, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, and excess carbon (the most important impurity) are removed from the sourced iron, and alloying elements such as manganese, nickel, chromium, carbon, and vanadium are added to produce different grades of steel.

  3. Heat treating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_treating

    Heat treating furnace at 1,800 °F (980 °C) Heat treating (or heat treatment) is a group of industrial, thermal and metalworking processes used to alter the physical, and sometimes chemical, properties of a material. The most common application is metallurgical. Heat treatments are also used in the manufacture of many other materials, such as ...

  4. Puddling (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puddling_(metallurgy)

    Puddling (metallurgy) Schematic drawing of a puddling furnace. Puddling is the process of converting pig iron to bar (wrought) iron in a coal fired reverberatory furnace. It was developed in England during the 1780s. The molten pig iron was stirred in a reverberatory furnace, in an oxidizing environment to burn the carbon, resulting in wrought ...

    There's no way of getting around it: Indie-survival game Rust is tough. You're only given bandages, a torch, and a rock to begin with, and you have to figure out how to get yourself fed, sheltered ...

  6. Tempering (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempering_(metallurgy)

    Tempering is a heat treatment technique applied to ferrous alloys, such as steel or cast iron, to achieve greater toughness by decreasing the hardness of the alloy. The reduction in hardness is usually accompanied by an increase in ductility, thereby decreasing the brittleness of the metal.

  7. Galvannealed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvannealed

    Production of galvannealed sheet steel begins with hot dip galvanization of sheet steel. After passing through the galvanizing zinc bath the sheet steel passes through air knives to remove excess zinc, and is then heated in an annealing furnace for several seconds causing iron and zinc layers to diffuse into one another causing the formation of zinc-iron alloy layers at the surface.

  8. Industrial furnace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_furnace

    An industrial chamber furnace, used to heat steel billets for open-die forging. An industrial furnace, also known as a direct heater or a direct fired heater, is a device used to provide heat for an industrial process, typically higher than 400 degrees Celsius. [1] They are used to provide heat for a process or can serve as reactor which ...

  9. Bessemer process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bessemer_process

    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. The key principle is removal of impurities from the iron by oxidation with air being blown through the molten iron. The oxidation also raises the temperature ...
