Blast furnace molten pig iron photograph   Save
Youngstown Sheet & Tube Audiovisual Archives
Description: This photograph depicts a stream of molten iron at the base of a blast furnace on its way to transport ladles. 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.
