Steel Making

[gmspeedfreak]

can iron or steel be used as a refactory material at all if you wanted to make a small blast furnace? Or do you need some kind of special cement or clay?

[epistte]

@gmspeedfreak If you used a ferrous metal it would melt and contaminate the heat when you fired the furnace. This is why you need to line the furnace with refractory material such as fire brick or clay that have a much higher thermal point than steel or iron.

@gmspeedfreak

Materials used in furnace is usually none-metallic. It's usually oxide refractory materials like ''epistte'' said. And can be silicate, aluminum-silicate, magnesite, zircon, and special high carbon materials. Iron have melting point at 1536 celsius degree, and steel has a range. Steel doesn't have a specific melting point, because it's the alloy.

Like internal combustion engines in cars heavy industry is the blood of the world. Unless you can make bridges and ships ect from recycled plastic.

[Dawn1959]

Yeh and Al Gore uses enough electricity to also power 4000 homes,we need steel.Unreal,freaking tree huggers worried about the cost of the power..,lmao.Oh and someone needs to tell Rosie O'Donnell that fire does melt steel.lol. Great video,hard working people,back bone of America.God Bless the steel workers.

[DarkIndustry502]

Damn right! The steel industry built America! I just wish nice factory jobs like that still existed...service providing economy my ass....

[Frostman182]

My city depends on steel making. Dofasco/Stelco are the backbone of this city and without it, we would be a waste town. I can't stand everyone when they talk about how much pollution it puts out. It gives jobs to thousands of people and many thousands more that processes it further, such as the company I worked for. I will be for ever proud to say that I worked and I will work again in that industry when i am finished school!

[CANADIANGANSTA69]

i heard that to melt the steel it uses so much power u could power 4000 homes! they have to do it at night to stop from blowing the citys main fuse!!

[Winters517]

ok u dumbass complaining canadian what do you want your car made out of? paper?

[KidSmith10]

Shut the fuck up you dick face

[CANADIANGANSTA69]

thanks kidsmith,

What the fuck are you talking about?

I dident complain i simply shared a fact i knew but nowadays people on youtube are such dick sucks they diss someone at any chance they get. I for one am not a tree hugger and probally waste more power than you do in a lifetime.

So shut the fuck up and get a life.

[Winters517]

oh oh oh a fiesty fellow, hey? I wasn't talking to you and ur not cadadian but i guess you just take offense to bad words. CALM DOWN MAN!!!

[KidSmith10]

lol no actually there both my accounts.

anyway, why are you talking me down?

i actually am canadian i just moved to cali about 3 months ago

[Winters517]

i just hate tree huggers who want to shut down all industry which would screw over half the us markets and personally i am fascinated my steel making and as long as you are not an environmentalist d-bag who still believes in global warming, i am cool.

[KidSmith10]

no belive me i really dont care about the envirement, i am a heave steel user myself so i would never wanna shut down a steel mill

[DarkIndustry502]

Winters517, you read my mind buddy. Heavy Industry built America from the ground up, and leave it to ultra-liberal a**holes to complain about the dirty air. I live a block away from one of the biggest BP refineries and Mital Steel mills in the country, and I love it- Good jobs and bad ass science fiction scenery! Long live heavy industry!!!

[fredmentor]

Revelation "mix"!  Welcome to my profil with movies from Polans Factory and ruins! ;)

[easygoingb]

do you know how cool that looks? I want a steel mill in my room...for a while

[CANADIANGANSTA69]

that would be smelly cost lots for power and be hot! but sweet to sell the steel

[bcrscahh198987]

That is some amazingly great machinery.
