Continuous casting continuously solidifies molten metal and involves various important metallurgical processes. These processes are the most efficient way to solidify large volumes of metal into simple shapes for subsequent processing. Most primary metals are mass-produced using the continuous casting process.

Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) is the product of the direct reduction of iron ore in the solid state by carbon monoxide and hydrogen derived from natural gas or coal.

Two main commercial processes are used. Basic Oxygen Steelmaking (BOS) uses liquid hot metal from the blast furnace and scrap steel as the main feed materials. Steelmaking with an Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) uses scrap steel or direct reduced iron (DRI). Oxygen steelmaking has become more popular over time.
