Included activities starts

This activity starts with the production and import of \"bloom steel, 304 stainless steel\" in this region

Included activities ends

The activity concludes with the delivery of \"bloom, 304 stainless steel\" to the consumers of the product. Transportation is included, but losses during transit are negligible and therefore not accounted for.

Description

This dataset is a market dataset representing the consumption market of the region. It includes the transportation of products from the factory gate to the consumer end, with transport services calculated according to the transportation conditions for that product in that region. Steel billet can be used as raw material for downstream processes, and after processing such as rolling, forging, and drawing, it can be made into various specifications and shapes of finished steel products, such as steel plates, steel pipes, and steel bars. In areas such as construction, machinery manufacturing, shipbuilding, and automobile manufacturing, steel billets are widely used to manufacture various parts and structural materials. Stainless steel billets represent the initial form in the stainless steel manufacturing process and are typically further processed into various types of stainless steel products. This dataset is formed by aggregating data from multiple sources. The dataset describes nickel input in converter steel production at approximately 0.09 kg/kg steel, scrap steel input in EAF steel production at approximately 0.35 kg/kg steel (of which 0.23 kg/kg steel is nickel-bearing scrap), and ferro-nickel input at about 0.5 kg/kg steel.

Activity Description

The production process of Steel billet includes the converter steel-making process, steel water refining, as well as the casting and forming of steel water, covering energy consumption, material consumption, waste treatment, and environmental emissions required in the production process.

Process Description

Steel billet is a primary product obtained by casting the steel water produced by a converter into various forms, usually including slabs (for flat products), billets (for sections and wire rods), and blooms. It is an essential semi-finished product in the iron and steel industry, characterized by its excellent ductility and processability. Steel billet can be used as raw material for downstream processes, undergoing rolling, forging, drawing, and other manufacturing processes to produce finished steel products of different specifications and shapes, such as steel plates, steel pipes, steel bars, and so on. In sectors like construction, machinery manufacturing, shipbuilding, automobile manufacturing, steel billets are widely used to make various components and structural materials. Stainless steel billet is the primary form in the stainless steel manufacturing process, which is usually further processed into various stainless steel products.

Technology comment

The steelmaking process primarily includes converter steel technology and EAF steel technology. The converter steel process is a common steelmaking process. During smelting, impurities such as sulfur and phosphorus are removed from the molten steel through high-temperature combustion and oxygen blowing. By controlling the amount of oxygen input and production time, the oxygen atmosphere and reaction conditions inside the furnace can be regulated, thereby controlling the composition and quality of the alloy. Thereafter, the refined molten steel is transported to the rotary table through a ladle. Once the rotary table turns to the casting position, the molten steel is poured into a tundish. The tundish then distributes the molten steel through nozzles into each mold. After cooling and solidification, the formed raw steel billets are produced. Electric arc furnace steelmaking is a steelmaking method that uses the thermal effect of electric arcs to heat furnace charges for smelting. Electrical energy is input into the electric arc furnace through graphite electrodes, using the electric arc between the electrode tip and the furnace charge as a heat source for steelmaking. Electric arc furnace steelmaking primarily uses scrap steel as the main raw material, with alloy, limestone, and carbon additives as auxiliary materials. The basic process of electric arc furnace steelmaking includes slag removal and furnace repairing, loading metallic furnace charges, power supplying, melting, oxidation, reduction refining, and steel tapping. In this unit process, the scrap ratio of electric arc furnace steelmaking is about 30%.
