Talk:Basic oxygen steelmaking
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
How does blowing O2 into the molten iron increase its tempurature? Is this caused by the burning of impurities? --Eraticus 02:48, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
BOF - Basic Oxygen Furnace, many large U.S. steelmakers refer to the process thus, but I am uncertain of where BOS is used and am thus reluctant to edit it.

[edit] Bessemer
I thought the LD process replaced the Bessemer and the Bessemer replaced open hearth. That's what the other articles say. --72.128.33.115 12:49, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
u fool THE OXEGEN DOES NOT MAKE IT HOTTER BY BURING OFF IMPUREITESS IT is caused by an exothermic reaction between the carbon and the oxegen to form Carbon dioxide
[edit] Merge 'Basic oxygen steelmaking' and 'Basic oxygen furnace'
I've just noticed that there are two separate pages on the basic oxygen furnace and process, that largely repeat the same information. I'm recommending that they be merged. Sentinel75 11:48, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Plagiarism
It appears that much of this page has either been copied by or copied from the Bluescope steel webpage of the same topic (http://www.bluescopesteel.com/index.cfm?objectid=5248A606-DDF6-4E80-B74FA4A95B3F5107) Someone has committed plagiarism, something should be done —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eagle 1.10 (talk • contribs) 10:59, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Iron/Steel Smelting And Forging
I'm very interested in smelting and forging. Can anyone tell me where and how to learn the basics of the craft? Example, I would like to construct a basic crude furnace in my back yard and I wanna learn how to melt iron and oxidize it into steel and then hammer it and work it into swords and shields or stuff. I'm good in chemistry and I'm in highschool so I understand the processes, I am not a noob. Please assist me.--Ren Storm 21:19, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] BOS diambiguos (SP?) page
THis needs to be linked to the BOS disabiguos page. I'm new and don't know how to work a disabiuguos page (or spell one) Basic Oxygen Steel (BOS) making. It's refered to as such in Western australia (we produce 10% of the worlds iron, Yay!)Oxinabox 03:53, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] WHy isn't the iron oxidised?
We just spent a long time reducing our Fe2O3 to Fe, and protecting it with slag for the hot blast air to preven oxidisation, And now we're removing impurities By "Directing a jet of Pure Oxygen at the molten Pig Iron", how come the iron isn't oxidised? Oxinabox 03:57, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
