Industrial production of iron and steel from ore to finished product — blast furnace, Bessemer converter, open-hearth, basic oxygen, electric arc, continuous casting, rolling, and secondary metallurgy. Covers the chemistry of decarburization, dephosphorization, and desulfurization, the metallurgy of plain carbon steels, the evolution from puddling and rolling to BOF and EAF, and the process-structure-property chain that makes mild steel the default structural material of the industrial era.

From the source SKILL.md

Steel is the most-used engineered material on the planet by mass, and its availability, price, and quality are the consequence of about 270 years of process innovation rather than a fundamental change in chemistry. The underlying metallurgy is always the same: take iron, control the carbon content between about 0.02 and 2.1 percent by weight, and adjust a handful of alloying and impurity elements. What changes with each generation of process is how cheaply and uniformly that control is achieved. This skill walks the production chain from ore to shaped product and names the processes a…
