- TH-camr and Blacksmith, Alec Steele, visited Tata Steel's site in Port Talbot to see how steel is made.
Join him as he visits the Blast Furnaces, Basic Oxygen Steelmaking (BOS) Plant and Hot Mill and discover how iron is created from raw materials, converted into steel, cast into slabs and rolled and wound into coils.

I expected to see a plant in India. Very cool to see an Indian company running a plant in the UK.
@@markanderson1519 I think you spelled RUINING wrong 😑
just curious but whats cool?
Sure was a good watch. Sent me down a right rabbit hole of industrial processes and recycling efficiency
That was a great watch, it takes me back many years. I used to work for an industrial water treatment company, we did the chemical treatment for the cooling systems at a number of the processes at Port Talbot, including the blast furnaces and hot rolling mill. That hot mill is something else, nothing can describe the power and the noise when that slab hits the reversing roughing roller.
getting access to this is insane
At our steel plant those CO monitoring thingies you wear on your collar only beep periodically when they need to be "bump tested". You have to insert them into a testing station once per 24 hours to make sure they still measure correctly.
Oh ... by the way ... the steel plants are all very different, yet eerily similar, even in small details.
Great video keep up the good work and thanks from TEESSIDE
I worked there in 1970 or so. There were FIVE blast furnaces in operation.
These furnaces are probably much larger / more efficient (I'm not sure). It'll be interesting to see what happens when they go over to induction
I remember those days from the 1960's. Two modern, two old, one ancient by standards of the day.
The electric arc furnace runs on scrap only. It’s not the same animal at all.
Great video, the shear scale is incredible!
Great video...terrible news that tata are shutting it down..did it at teesside..feel for these lads...going to be so much infighting...feel for the lads who are forced out
Unfortunately that's the way the cookie crumbles, coal is expensive, and dirty
What do you expect when in the UK we produce 7 million tons, China produces 1 billion, I served my time there in the 80s, and worked many shutdown, what boils my piss is when news readers state that whilst this is in decline it's gonna have a dramatic effect on the local community, when I was there nobody I knew was from the local community they were all from Swansea Llanelli Rhonda maesteg caerau Cardiff chapstow
Alec was perfect for this! Informative & enthusiastic. Great video. Now get him to an Electric Arc Furnace....at least 60,000 amps!
Yeah, I work for the company that is likely going to supply the arc furnaces. For context, we supplied TATAs corby plant recently and that was 4 2MW power supplies, @620v. Port Talbot will likely be ~20+MW.
Expected somewhere between 30-60 thousand amps
Such a good video and the plant looks really clean.
Wonderful! We used to have a steel mill in tana, Ca, USA called Kaiser Steel. Shut down since 1970's. Pity.
Really well put together video.
Is there a need to keep the oxygen steel plant away from the blast furnaces?
Wow 😳
hot air an oxygen why both?
temp taken in mould??
It’s so odd watching you walk around places I walk everyday
It's closed now ain't it pal so sorry about that
Working in a Shop on the floor is not fun like he thinks. lol . Worst place i can think of to work . If there was a Meltshop Blooper's video's then nobody would wanna work in these places .
making 3.6 million tonnes of steel ''at the moment''? Is PT capable of making more?
5.5 million
Hope he didn't steel anything

2024 and now it’s just a glorified scrap metal yard
That’s how it goes, to the very lowest bidder.
