Usage examples
  • A mini mill is a steel production facility that uses an electric arc furnace to melt the scrap steel. In contrast, the traditional Integrated Steel mill has blast furnaces or basic oxygen furnaces using iron ore and coke as the basic ingredients with some scrap thrown in. Although some integrated mills have electric arc furnaces for specific purposes, the arc furnace is the key component of a mini mill.
