In this second episode of our steelmaking series, we take a deeper dive into the complete steelmaking process, building on the fundamentals covered in the previous episode.

Our guest, Peter Warren, has over 25 years of experience in the steel industry, having worked as a Blast Furnace Technical Manager, Metallurgist, and Ironmaking Consultant for major steel producers, including British Steel.

We explore blast furnaces, direct reduction, BOF and EAF steelmaking, secondary refining, raw materials, and the future of steel production.

A practical and technical deep dive for anyone looking to better understand how steel is made.

I recommend taking notes throughout the episode, as we cover many important concepts and technical details that are essential to understanding modern steelmaking.
