Steel has long been a vital building block of civilization, providing strength and durability to structures and tools for thousands of years. This fundamental metal alloy has become integral to modern infrastructure and technology, with ancient forging methods still prized for their ability to produce steel of unparalleled quality and resilience.
Welcome to Factorama!
Join us on an illuminating journey into the realm of steel production. In this video series, we delve into the fascinating process of steel's transformation from raw iron ore to versatile construction material. We’ll explore time-honored techniques still used in remote foundries as well as the advanced technology powering modern steel manufacturing.
Each episode offers captivating insight into the unique processes that convert ordinary natural resources into essentials that form the backbone of the modern world. From the art of traditional iron smelting to the mechanics of immense integrated steelworks, we reveal the ingenuity and effort required to create the sturdy metal compounds used in almost everything that surrounds us.
For engineers, builders, and those curious about the ordinary objects that shape our lives, our channel provides an engaging combination of educational and entertaining content about the materials you rely on daily but seldom contemplate.

can we generate power during cooling process by sending steam(produced during cooling by water) in one path? or can we cool the iron/steel by air like nitrogen quenching? is temperature not enough or some other reason?

@daname1491
@daname1491 9 дней назад
Not really possible to direct the steam properly. It would also not be worth the effort. The rollers in a caster have to be replaced periodically. If you put some hull around of all that it would be a maintenance nightmare while not generating much energy in the first place. Cooling with nitrogen is not possible. You don‘t want to cool the steel too much. On most machines you only cool the very outside while having a liquid core. That allows the steel to be bend in a 90 degree angle within the roller segments. Keep in mind that the steel is poured in the mold vertically but in the end the products should run out of the machine horizontally.

They can be used as an infrequent accent for major separation points in the script instead of using it for almost every single transition, text and video effect. I'm barely two minutes in and found the very high frequency annoying, distracting from the content and is ultimately what made me stop the video. There's only a few spots where it should have been used, from what little I could watch. :07, :26, :51, 1:04, 1:09, 1:38, 1:56. Only seven clicks needed at most.

@mephInc

@@HarmonRAB-hp4nk A blast furnace is not electric, hence "blast". It uses super heated air blown into the bottom to melt raw materials whereas an electric furnace is open to the atmosphere and electrodes to arc and melt scrap steel and some raw materials. An electric furnace might make a couple thousand tons of steel a day. A blast furnace can make upwards of 14,000 tons of iron a day. Don't run your mouth of you don't know what you're saying.
