Iron and Steel In this project I have researched on the production of Iron and Steel. I will be looking in detail at how both are made, what they are made out of and other facts about the two metals. During iron making, iron ore, coke, heated air and limestone or other fluxes are fed into a blast furnace. The heated air causes the coke combustion, which provides the heat and carbon sources for iron production. Limestone or other fluxes may be added to react with and remove the acidic impurities, called slag, from the molten iron. The limestone-impurities mixtures float to the top of the molten iron and are skimmed off, see Figure 1, after melting is complete. Sintering products may also be added to the furnace.
