Basic oxygen furnace
A basic oxygen furnace, also known as an LD coverter, is the place within an integrated steel mill where molten iron from the blast furnace is changed into liquid steel. LD is short for Linz-Donawitz, the names of the two towns in Austria, near the Voest-Alpine steelworks where the process was developed.
