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.
@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.
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?
man u all complain like were cut off from steel allready. anyways im sure that in time well discover something even better than steel. and yes i care about the envirement however steel is badass
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!!!
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.

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.
