Blast furnace brick lining photograph   Save
YHCIL MSS0140 Youngstown Sheet & Tube Audiovisual Archives
Description: This photograph depicts refractory brickwork inside a blast furnace; the pictured bricks are capable of withstanding extraordinarily high temperatures. 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.
