More model informationThe purpose of the Basic Oxygen Steelmaking (BOS) process is to refine the hot metal produced in the blast furnace into raw liquid steel, which may be subsequently refined in the secondary steelmaking shop.
The main functions of the Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) are to decarburize and remove phosphorus from the hot metal, and to optimize the steel temperature so that any further treatments prior to casting can be performed with minimal reheating or cooling of the steel.
The exothermic oxidation reactions that occur during BOS generate a lot of heat energy - more than is necessary to attain the target steel temperature. This extra heat is used to melt scrap and/or iron ore additions.
