Description
Basic Oxygen Steelmaking (BOS), or the Oxygen Converter process, is a method of primary steelmaking in which carbon-rich molten iron from the Blast Furnace(BF) is made into steel.
This is a critical process in steelmaking because the composition of steel is refined into the BOS. This allows to obtain a reduction of carbon percentage to produce the final composition in the steel products. About this module: The history of BOS will be studied in this module. Then, the location of BOS into the steelmaking process will be presented, and the process to convert iron into steel in the BOS will be developed.
What you will learn
- Identify key points in the history of steel manufacturing;
- Outline the steps of the general process;
- Distinguish the sequence of the BOS process.
