Blast furnace boiler house   Save
Youngstown Sheet & Tube Audiovisual Archives
Description: This photograph depicts the interior of a blast furnace's boiler house. The boiler house powers all the steam-powered equipment at a mill. Blast furnaces burn alternating layers of iron ore and coke (as fuel) by forcing in large amounts of air, forming pig iron. This is the first step of the steelmaking process. This photograph belongs to the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company Audiovisual Archives, so it likely depicts a Youngstown company plant. View on Ohio Memory.
