What is Smelting
Smelting Furnace: The next step is to put the prepared iron ore into a super-hot furnace. It can be a blast furnace, electric arc furnace, or reverberatory furnace. These furnaces get as hot as 1,200 to 1,600 degrees Celsius (2,192 to 2,912 degrees Fahrenheit). This intense heat is crucial for reducing the iron ore into its elemental form.
