steel mill
Iron smelting facility
A steel mill is an industrial facility where steel is produced from iron ore or scrap metal.
The process involves intense heat from blast furnaces or electric arc furnaces.
Steel mills are massive operations associated with heavy industry and working-class labor: The steel mills along the river employed half the town.
Also called a steelworks.
