FAQ
Q Blast furnace vs EAF?
A
Blast furnace: ore + coke, continuous, scale economics (10+ Mt), high CO2 (1.8 t/t steel). EAF: scrap-based, flexible, green-power capable (0.4 t/t). EU ETS pushes EAF share toward 50% by 2030.
Q Continuous casting vs ingot?
A
Continuous: strand output, 95% yield, low energy — modern standard. Ingot: traditional, 80% yield, retained only for special steels.
Q Hot vs cold rolling?
A
Hot (>950°C): low cost, good plasticity — structural steel. Cold (room temperature): smooth surface, tight dimensional tolerance — auto and appliance sheet. SMS, Primetals and Danieli supply hot + cold + annealing lines.
