Blast and Basic Oxygen Furnaces

70% iron and 30% recycled steel are mixed with other alloys in the 300-tonne basic oxygen steelmaking furnace to create the metallurgical qualities which suit the customers' end use requirements. The molten metal is then shipped to Dofasco's Ladle Metallurgy Facility.

The KOBM Stream uses primarily iron ore, coal, and limestone as feed materials; as contrasted to the EAF Stream produces steel mostly from recycled scrap.
