What 241 includes

• Iron ore processing involves reduction in blast furnaces and oxygen-modulating furnaces or melting of scrap and unused iron materials in electric arc furnaces, or direct reduction of unmelted iron ore to obtain crude iron, which is then smelted and purified in molten blast furnaces and solidified for continuous casting to produce flat or long steel products. After heating, it is rolled, drawn, and extruded to produce finished products such as sheets, plates, strips, rods, wires, tubes, pipes, or hollow profiles.
