Charging and tapping a blast furnace for making steel during World War II (WWII)

The raw materials used in manufacturing of steel are carried by ore cranes and transfer cars, into a blast furnace, to be smelted. Steel workers drill out the clay tap plug, tapping the blast furnace, and molten iron runs out into runners in floor, amidst flame, smoke and fumes. A technician reads the temperature of the pour using an optical pyrometer.The molten iron creates flames, smoke and fumes as it progresses to empty into a large specially designed rail car, pulled by a locomotive.

Recycling scrap in the process of steel making during WWII. Tapping open hearth furnace

Adding scrap to the charge of an open hearth furnace during steel making. Steel Workers use crane to pick up scrap for adding to the charge of an open hearth furnace. Workers sort scrap by noting the kinds of sparks produced as it is touched to a grinding wheel. Scrap is charged into the furnace by means of machines on rails. Operator seen at controls of charging machine. Under control of operator seen in booth above, molten iron is poured into the furnace from a huge Ladle. . Workers manually shovel Ferro manganese into the furnace, in measured quantity, to control the oxygen content. Furnace is tapped by burning and ramming a plug and molten steel flows in ladle. Molten steel is 'teemed' into ingot molds. Technician checks temperature of the steel with an optical pyrometer.

Fabrication of seamless steel tubing during WWII

By means of special machines in a steel mill, a hot billet of solid steel is pierced and transformed into a seamless tube. Rolling reduces the thickness of the wall of the tube and increases its Length. Operator is seen as the tube is run through a reeling mill to make the wall thickness uniform.and round up the tube. View of tubing being cold drawn by machine to improve its surface,consistency and strength. Other steel products like sheets, rails strips etc are manufactured with the help of specialized equipment. People inspect the machines. Tin sheets are ready to be used.
