steel making
Iron into alloy
Steel making is the industrial process of producing steel from iron ore or scrap metal.
The process involves removing impurities and adding carbon and other elements to achieve desired properties like strength and flexibility.
Modern methods include basic oxygen furnaces and electric arc furnaces: The region's economy depended on steel making for over a century.
