The production of raw steel at SSAB EMEA in Luleå is carried out in basic oxygen steelmaking furnaces (BOF), where dissolved carbon in pig iron is reduced to a level less than 2 % through the reaction with oxygen. Simultaneously, a slag phase is formed consisting of oxidized impurities from the meta...
