Synopsis

This in-depth study of the manufacture of iron and steel begins by tracing the history of iron production, from the use of simple hearths in древние времена to the development of the blast furnace. Expanding on this development, the author explains the role of coke in the blast furnace process and its superiority to direct processes. The book continues by exploring the chemical reactions that take place within the blast furnace, the influence of temperature on the reduction of iron, and the role of limestone in the process. The study also examines the composition of the escaping gases and the impact of furnace design on fuel consumption. The author concludes by discussing the latest developments in iron and steel production, including the use of hydrogen and the basic Bessemer process. This book provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of the history, science, and technology of iron and steel making, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in the field.
