Metallurgical Industry


The metallurgical industry is an industry that uses physical and chemical methods to convert mineral raw materials such as ores into metals or other useful substances. The industry can be divided into three parts: black metallurgy, non-ferrous metallurgy, and special metallurgy. Black metallurgy mainly extracts iron from iron ore, including processes such as sintering, blast furnace, and converter. Non ferrous metallurgy mainly extracts useful metals from minerals such as copper, lead, zinc, aluminum, and nickel, including processes such as copper smelting, zinc smelting, and aluminum smelting. Special metallurgy refers to the metallurgical process of producing certain special metals or alloys, such as steel alloys, carbon fibers, etc.

The metallurgical industry plays an important role in the national economy, providing a large amount of important raw materials such as iron, copper, and aluminum, while also providing important support for many other industrial sectors. With the continuous development of technology and processes, the metallurgical industry has moved towards automation, intelligence, and greenery, continuously promoting efficient energy conservation, pollution reduction, and other directions, making contributions to the sustainable development of the national economy.
