Steelmaking #1: Mining through Smelting | Stewart Jones Sunrise |
Part 1 of the Steelmaking Clinic describes the basics of iron smelting and the operation of the blast furnace. Because steelmaking is a very heavy industry, extensive railroad facilities are integral to this manufacturing. It describes the raw materials required for producing raw iron with particular attention to the various support industries that have existed in Colorado and elsewhere and how railroads are involved and how you can model some of these industries. | |
Steelmaking #2: Steel Production and Finishing | Stewart Jones Sunrise |
Part 2 of the Steelmaking Clinic describes how raw iron is converted into steel and how raw steel is converted into commercial products, including rolled shapes, plates and sheets, rod and wire, pipes, and tubes. The weight and bulk of these products requires extensive involvement with railroads. Because there are so many facets to manufacturing, the clinic will discuss ways to model partial process industries rather than one giant complex. | |
