Description

The described process is for the manufacturing of crude steel using converter steelmaking, which is a stage in the steel production chain. The process involves the transformation of hot metal or scrap steel into steel. This crude steel is typically used as a raw material for construction, infrastructure, automotive, machinery, transport industries, and various other applications where steel is required as a structural component. When using the dataset representing this steelmaking process, users should take into account the technological specificity of converter steelmaking. It is important to consider the inclusion or exclusion of recycling impacts, as the input material can be either hot metal derived from iron ore or scrap steel. Users should also ensure that the data is consistent with the geographical and technological context of the intended application, as well as with the typical energy sources used in the process. Additionally, the dataset should be used in accordance with the temporal relevance of the data, meaning data should be up to date for the period of study.
