In the previous post, we have seen the process of steelmaking in a blast furnace. Now we are going to see what the process is like using the electric furnace.

Starting with iron as raw material, either in the form of ore or as a concentrate in the form of synthesized iron, pellets, etc., it is melted in a blast furnace (as can be seen in image 2), with coal and coke, assisted by fluxes. In this melting process, a mass of liquid steel is formed, covered by a fluid slag in which a large part of the impurities remains. The aim is to obtain liquid pig iron.

Toolox 44 is a new tempered and annealed steel for tools, designed to have high impact resistance and low residual tension, and therefore good dimensional stability. Despite having hardness of 44 HRC, the new steel is easily machined.
