Real estate is one of the most long-term and secure investments a person can make. So, to ensure that the property is as secure as the investment, one needs to invest in proper steel manufacturing companies in Karnataka. Steel is versatile and abundant, which makes it the ideal commodity to use in constructions and high-rise structures.

Read on to know more about the process of steel manufacturing and what makes Agni Steels one of the top steel manufacturers in Andhra Pradesh.

Global impact

When it comes to construction and stability, how long matters more than how much. It doesn’t matter how much you have to spend or how tall your structure is. What matters is how good the quality of steel you use is and how durable it is during adverse times. Global steel production contributes highly to the economy and constitutes a considerable percentage of international job support.

Alongside the advancements of technology and various chemical compositions, this commodity is backed by a massive manufacturing process. Steel manufacturing companies in Karnataka know the difference between cast iron, wrought iron, and other alloys of iron used to make steel. Durability, malleability, and strength vary between these different types, and the quality of the iron used is reflected in the quality of steel produced.

Manufacturing process

You must have heard of the Bessemer process also known as Bessemerization. What began in 1856 is continued as modern-day steel production and is the first procedure used to manufacture steel on a mass scale. The system essentially involves removing iron impurities by a blast of air. Further enhancements of this process resulted in using this technique to eliminate impurities while retaining the carbon content.

There are two ways to produce cost-effective high-quality steel. One is the Basic Oxygen Process (BOP) which involves putting a combination of raw iron ore and steel scrap metal in small quantities into a blast furnace. As the name suggests, pure oxygen is blown into the furnace which increases its temperature and melts the scrap metal. The iron ore’s impurities are also simultaneously oxidized and the carbon content is reduced to its ideal ratio.

While the above process results in liquid steel, another method called the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) is used to produce larger quantities of pure steel. High electric currents from electrodes are let in to melt the steel scraps. Simultaneously, ferroalloys (chromium, nickel, etc.) are added until the liquid steel reaches its desired ratio. This gives us stainless steel which is purified by blasts of oxygen and additions of fluorspar and lime.

The steel’s impurities combined with these substances turn to slag, which floats to the top of the molten steel. This is removed and pure steel is procured. These EAF furnaces are ideal for large scale steel production, as their capacity allows them to produce nearly 150 tonnes of steel per melt in just 90 minutes.

Affordable yet reliable

Steel is indeed abundant yet precious and several manufacturing companies use it to produce original products. Businesses across the globe source metal alloys and steel to building their structures and products. Steel is malleable and has the threshold to be molded into custom metal designs. This makes it very convenient for modern studio homes and new inventions to make our life easier.

Designers, engineers, constructors, and welders all collaborate to make a structure a success – steel is used in every step of the process. Hence, every expert from the global economy owes their success to steel. If you are looking for quality steel manufacturing companies in Karnataka, choose Agni Steels.
