Steel is manufactured by the chemical reduction of iron ore, using an integrated steel manufacturing process or a direct reduction process. In the conventional integrated steel manufacturing process, the iron from the blast furnace is converted to steel in a basic oxygen furnace (BOF). Steel can also be made in an electric arc furnace (EAF) from scrap steel and, in some cases, from direct reduced iron ... An emerging technology, direct steel manufacturing, produces steel directly from iron ore. 1, record 5, English, - integrated%20steel%20manufacturing%20process

L'acier est généralement élaboré selon deux filières caractérisées par la nature différente des sources de fer, ce qui implique des choix différents de procédés métallurgiques et de sources d’énergie utilisées. La filière longue-dite filière intégrée-utilise le minerai de fer comme source de fer et le charbon comme source d’énergie et de réducteur. La filière courte est basée sur la fusion des ferrailles à partir d’électricité. La filière intégrée [...] utilise l'aciérie à l'oxygène où la fonte est transformée en acier liquide primaire. La filière courte utilise [...] le four électrique à arcs pour fondre les ferrailles. 1, record 5, French, - fili%C3%A8re%20int%C3%A9gr%C3%A9e%20de%20fabrication%20de%20l%26rsquo%3Bacier

Ladle refining process. Large ladles are used in most metal-melting operations to transfer molten metal from melting furnaces to refining or pouring station. Ladle refining furnaces are basically ladles with a heating source and lid. LRFs are used to reheat or maintain steel tapped from a steel-making furnace to a precise temperature and or refine it to exact chemical specifications. 1, record 6, English, - ladle%20refining

L'une de ces «méthodes secondaires» est l'affinage en poche. Dans ce procédé, la ferraille est rapidement fondue dans le four électrique au maximum de puissance. Puis le métal liquide est versé aussi vite que possible dans une poche de coulée où il est affiné. Le procédé permet de réserver le four pour l'opération qu'il effectue le mieux : la fusion à puissance élevée. 1, record 6, French, - affinage%20en%20poche
