1.1 Steel Manufacturing Process Steel production involves several processing stages including iron making‚ primary and secondary steel making‚ casting and hot rolling. These are followed by some of the following fabrication processes: cold rolling‚ forming‚ forging‚ joining‚ machining‚ coating and/or heat treatment. Steels can be made either from raw materials (e.g. iron ore‚ coal and limestone) or by recycling steel scrap. In response to the requirements of society‚ steel processing is
