Abstract

Susan Lazier*

Steel making is the process of producing steel from iron and other materials, such as scrap metal and alloys, through a series of chemical and physical processes. Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, with the carbon content typically ranging from 0.2% to 2.1% along with other elements like manganese, chromium, nickel, and vanadium that give it specific properties like strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance.
