Thirdly, it consists of 93% pig iron, 3% iron ore, and 4% limestone.
In the ingredients, iron ore is used as an oxidant and limestone as a solvent.
The proportions of the three ingredients for the first method were also given to Zhang Hong so that they could conduct experiments.
The second method is the traditional converter side-blown steelmaking process.
The difficulty with this method lies in building a makeshift converter.
Li Xin also drew a detailed diagram according to the requirements of the intelligent technology, along with data parameters, construction details, etc., and handed it to Zhang Hong.
The third method is crucible steelmaking.
This method is much more convenient than the traditional converter steelmaking process.
However, the only difficulty lies in the fact that there are no graphite mines near Dongning City.
Without graphite, graphite crucibles cannot be made.
Therefore, the crucible steelmaking method was impossible to implement.
Therefore, Li Xin instructed Qingyu Trading Company and Sunji Trading Company to purchase suitable graphite from various places.
Once we have graphite, we will test this method again.
All three methods were taught to Zhang Hong.
Li Xin also instructed Zhang Hong to allocate a group of people to experiment with various methods in order to find a qualified method that could be used for large-scale steelmaking.
At that time, this method will also be promoted.
Listening to Li Xin's earnest teachings, Zhang Hong was completely dumbfounded.
Zhang Hong originally thought that since he came from a family of blacksmiths, he could handle things like iron and steel smelting with ease.
Now, I never expected that His Highness would know more than him!
For a moment, Zhang Hong felt genuine admiration for Prince Xin!
"Your Highness, please rest assured,"
Zhang Hong assured him, "I will definitely forge qualified steel as soon as possible!"
