GLOBAL STEEL INDUSTRY
Steel was an alloy of iron and carbon containing less than 2 per cent carbon and 1per cent manganese and small amounts of silicon, phosphorus, sulphur and oxygen. Steel was the most important engineering and construction material in the world. It was used in every aspect of our lives, from automotive manufacture to construction products, from steel toecaps for protective footwear to refrigerators and washing machines and from cargo ships to the finest scalpel for hospital surgery. Most steel was made via one of two basic routes: 1. Integrated (blast furnace and basic oxygen furnace). 2. Electric arc furnace (EAF). The integrated route used raw materials (that is, iron ore, limestone and coke) and scrap to create steel. The EAF method used scrap as its principal input. The EAF method was much easier and faster since it only required scrap steel. Recycled steel was introduced into a furnace and re-melted along with some other additions to produce the end product. Steel could be produced by other methods such as open hearth. However, the amount of steel produced by these methods decreased every year. Of the steel produced in 2005, 65.4per cent was produced via the integrated route, 31.7percent via EAF and 2.9 percent via the open hearth and other methods. At a steel mill, the crude
