Ferrous Slag – general information Euroslag
Blast furnace slag is made during the melting and reduction of iron ore in a blast furnace. Steel making slag (also: steel slag) is produced during the conversion of hot metal to crude steel in a basic oxygen furnace or during the melting of scrap in an electric arc furnace. If the crude steel undergoes further secondary steelmaking processes, different kinds of secondary metallurgical slags are formed.
