Making steel
Steel is made from iron ore, a compound of iron, oxygen and other minerals that occurs in nature. The raw materials for steelmaking are mined and then transformed into steel using two different processes: the blast furnace/basic oxygen furnace route, and the electric arc furnace route. Both processes are being continually improved to meet the challenge of low-emission steelmaking. The journey below shows how steel is made across the ArcelorMittal environment - not necessarily how steel is made at Dofasco.
