Basic Oxygen Furnace Steelmaking
Blast furnacebasic oxygen furnace uses iron ore as its base raw material that accounts over just 50% of BOF steel costs, and electric arc furnace uses scrap as its base that represents around 75% of EAF steel cost. The Basic Oxygen Steelmaking process differs from the EAF is that BOF is selfsufficient in energy. The primary raw materials for the BOP are 7080% liquid .
