Technical Terms<br />

A<br />

Annealing furnace<br />

Metallurgical furnace for heat treatment and annealing of metals and alloys; heated either electrically<br />

or by means of solid, liquid or gaseous fuels.<br />

B<br />

Beam blanks<br />

Input material for the production of beams.<br />

Blanks<br />

Stampings punched out of (mainly) surface-coated sheet for the automobile industry.<br />

Blast furnace<br />

A shaft furnace lined with heat-resistant (refractory) bricks and used by integrated steelworks to smelt<br />

pig iron from iron ore.<br />

Bloom<br />

An intermediate product manufactured from crude steel by the continuous casting process and used<br />

as a pre-material for the production of sections.<br />

C<br />

Coating<br />

The application of a coat of zinc, organic material, paint or foil, primarily to improve the resistance of<br />

steel sheet to corrosion.<br />

Coke<br />

A reduction agent required in the blast furnace smelting pig iron out of iron ore. Coke is produced by<br />

heating specific types of coal (coking coal) in a coke oven plant under exclusion of air.<br />

Cold-rolled steel<br />

Non-surface-coated sheet produced by cold rolling.<br />

Cold rolling<br />

Forming process at room temperature. Cold rolling is used for example to turn hot-rolled strip into<br />

sheet steel.<br />

Continuous casting<br />

A semi-continuous process for the manufacture of slabs, blooms and tube rounds from molten steel.<br />

E<br />

Electric steel<br />

Steel produced by smelting scrap in an electric arc furnace.
