 How many types of steel are there

　　Steel is not a single product. There are currently more than 3,500 different types of steel with varying physical, chemical and environmental properties.

　　About 75% of the steel in use today was developed in the past 20 years. To rebuild the Eiffel Tower today, engineers would only need a third of the steel.

　　A new type of steel used in modern cars is stronger than before, yet weighs 35 percent less than before.

How steel is tempered

 How steel is tempered 　　There are two main steelmaking processes commonly used in the world: blast furnace-blown oxygen furnace and electric arc furnace steelmaking, and there are also steelmaking methods that use a combination of the two steelmaking processes or other different processes. 　　The main difference in the process lies in the raw materials used. The main raw materials of blast furnace-blown oxygen furnace are iron ore, coke, and scrap steel, while electric arc furnace mainly relies on scrap steel and electricity for steelmaking. Other metallic iron raw materials such as direct reduced iron, molten iron can also be used for EAF steelmaking depending on plant setup and scrap steel availability. 　　BF-BOF steelmaking production accounted for 70.7%. First, iron ore is reduced to obtain iron, also called molten iron or pig iron, and then the molten iron is smelted into steel in an oxygen top-blown converter. After casting and rolling, the molten steel is processed...

Black metal

  Black metal Refers to the alloy of iron and iron. Such as steel, pig iron, ferroalloy, cast iron, etc. Both steel and pig iron are alloys based on iron with carbon as the main additive element, collectively referred to as iron-carbon alloys. Pig iron refers to the product made by smelting iron ore in a blast furnace, which is mainly used for steelmaking and casting. Smelting cast pig iron in an iron melting furnace to obtain cast iron (liquid, iron-carbon alloy with a carbon content greater than 2.11%), and casting the liquid cast iron into castings, this type of cast iron is called cast iron. Ferroalloy is an alloy composed of iron, silicon, manganese, chromium, titanium and other elements. Ferroalloy is one of the raw materials for steelmaking. It is used as a deoxidizer and alloy element additive for steel during steelmaking. Iron-carbon alloys with a carbon content of less than 2.11% are called steel, and steel is obtained by putting pig iron for steelmaking into a steelmakin...
