 PRODUCTION OF STEEL
 IRON ORE PROCESSING:-
 Iron ore is got from the mines of Baliadila in Madhya Pradesh.
 Raw materials are screened to remove the fines size of max 50 ×
50 mm
 The fines of the iron ore are sent to high –grade palletizing plant
at Vizag.
 Crushing of Iron ore
 It is screened from the fines before
charging for the production of
HBI/DRI.

 Steel Making Process
 Depending upon the quality of the steel required a particular ratio
of raw iron ore and the pellets approximately 60:40 or 70:30 are
charged in to the hopper of the vertical shaft furnace.
 Melting process.
 Refined and alloy additions in the ladle furnace are made.
 Casting of the hot metal as slabs at casters .
 Metallic iron, HBI, Steel scrap and Hot
DRI are fed in to the Electric arc furnace
as raw material.
 The capacity of EAF is maximum 150 ton.
The arc is struck between the graphite
Cathode and the liquid steel.
 Ladle Refining Furnace.
 Three graphite electrode are immersed in to the furnace to
maintain the temperature and argon gas is purged from the bottom
to prevent the re -oxidation of the steel.
 Vacuum de-gassing.
 Two continuous casters are present.
 Molten steel passes through the oscillating copper mould, which is
coated with nickel. Finally a slab is formed.
