LQ2 BFD Steel

Question 1

acts as both a fuel and a reducing agent in the blast furnace. It provides the heat and helps reduce iron ore to molten iron. This helps to convert coal into coke

Answer 1

Coking

Question 2

improves the permeability and efficiency of the blast furnace by allowing better airflow and material flow. To agglomerate fine iron ore particles into a porous mass called sinter.

Answer 2

Sintering

Question 3

_____ is added to the blast furnace to remove impurities (like silica) by forming slag.

Answer 3

Lime kiln

Question 4

This is where the raw iron is extracted, forming the base material for steelmaking.

Answer 4

Blast furnace

Question 5

adjusts the carbon content and composition to make different steel grades. This converts iron into steel

Answer 5

Basic Oxygen Furnace

Question 6

To solidify molten steel into semi-finished shapes (slabs, billets, blooms). These shapes are the starting material for further forming processes like rolling.

Answer 6

Casting

Question 7

To shape and reduce the thickness of steel products. Final steel products (like sheets, bars, beams) are made in this stage, customized to desired dimensions and properties.

Answer 7

Rolling
