Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, known for its durability and strength, and is the most important construction and engineering material. It is extensively employed as the primary material used in building anything from needles to oil tanks. It helps make everything from cars to construction products, washing machines, refrigerators, surgical scalpels, and cargo ships, which add to its demand. Furthermore, it is a very recyclable material making it ideal for several applications and popular due to being a more sustainable choice.
In the automotive sector, it finds extensive use owing to its use for making the automobile's body, engine, doors, interior, and suspension. Also, it can be used for packaging applications as it can protect goods from the air, water as well as light exposure, which furthers its demand.
The market for steel is predominantly driven by its demand for the manufacture of car bodies, doors, engines, cargo ships, refrigerators, suspension components, tools, machinery, and equipment for various industries, which significantly increases its demand for the automotive, construction, shipbuilding, electronic, and machinery & equipment industries, respectively.
It is often employed as a packaging material for several products, as it protects from air, light exposure, etc., which further enhances its demand among packaging industries. Moreover, it is also utilized in the medical equipment industry for the manufacture of surgical instruments, scalpels, etc. Additionally, the availability and cost of production of steel’s feedstock (scrap steel, coke, limestone, iron ore), steel market prices, distribution (including trading and shipping), quality standards, logistics, etc., are some of the elements that influence an industrial steel procurement.
The importance of this commodity as a crucial component for the automotive, electronics, construction, medical, and machinery & equipment industries has a significant impact on its worldwide procurement.
Raw Material for Steel Production
According to the Steel manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Steel production include Scrap Steel; Coke-Limestone-Iron Ore.
Manufacturing Process of Steel
The extensive Steel production cost report consists of these major industrial manufacturing processes:
- Production From Electric Arc Furnace: During the procedure, scrap steel is added from the electric arc furnace's top, followed by the closing of the EAF lid. The steel scrap melts and produces heat when the electrodes in the lid are charged with a powerful electric current. Afterward, it is mixed with additional additives, like ferroalloys, to give it the proper composition and oxygen to purify the steel. At last, the molten slag forms above the molten steel due to the addition of fluorspar and lime to impurities. The furnace is then tilted to allow the slag to be poured out.
- Production From Blast Furnace: This method involves feeding coke, limestone, and iron ore into a blast furnace such that they gradually start sinking to the bottom. As the constituents move toward the furnace's bottom, their temperature rises steadily, followed by the release of oxygen from the upper part of the iron ore by gas from the burning coke. Meanwhile, slag is formed in the bottom half of the process when coke and iron ore impurities react with limestone. Further, melted steel is drained from the furnace through a slag notch while the molten slag hovers above it. The tap hole is eventually used to expel the molten steel from the furnace hearth.
Steel is an iron and carbon alloy which has a carbon content of about 2 percent. Due to this high carbon content, it is classed as cast iron. It is a very popular commodity due to it being comparatively cheaper to make, form, and process. It also contains 1% manganese and phosphorus, oxygen, silicon, sulfur, and oxygen in tiny amounts. It is mainly produced through two main methods, i.e., the blast furnace-basic oxygen furnace (BF-BOF) route and the electric arc furnace (EAF) route.
There are four kinds of steel known, including Carbon Steel, Alloy steel, Stainless Steel, and Tool Steel. The metal has a density of 7,850 kg/m3, which is 7.85 times denser than that of water. It has a relatively higher melting point compared to other metals at 1,510 C. Steel offers a wide range of properties such as toughness, hardness, yield strength, tensile strength, durability, fatigue strength, plasticity, elongation, and malleability.
